Each year, ASHA recognizes its members in grade 11 or higher, age 21 and under, who are involved with American Saddlebreds. The scholarships are awarded on the basis of academic success, financial need, extracurricular activities, including community service, involvement with American Saddlebred horses and personal references. An interview may be included in the selection process, and applicants are asked to write an essay, which includes information about school experiences, special interests, hobbies and ASHA activities.
The purpose of these scholarships is to encourage, support and recognize participation in all aspects of the American Saddlebred industry, as well as to strengthen the American Saddlebred industry and breed through education.
Scholarships are awarded only to high school graduates or those students whose graduation is imminent. Applications must be received by April 30 of the year in which the applicant wishes to receive the scholarship. The scholarship money will be paid directly to the institution, university, college or trade school for post-secondary educational expenses.
Please submit application by April 30th to Brenda Newell, 4083 Iron Works Parkway, Lexington, KY 40511. Any questions regarding the scholarships may be directed to Brenda at 859-259-3886 or b.newell@asha.net
