GUIDELINES & INFORMATION
The education of our
Amateur members (Junior, Young Rider and Adult) is very important to
NODA as riders, horse owners, and possible future trainers.
Each year NODA offers
four (4) scholarships in the amount of $250 each. Two (2) are
designated for
Junior/Young Riders, and two (2) are designated for Adult Amateurs.
An amateur member may be
awarded a scholarship once every three years. If you apply
and are not awarded a scholarship, please re-apply the following
year.
Scholarship Use
Scholarships may be used for any educational dressage event.
This includes all dressage clinics, seminars, symposiums, lessons, and other
dressage education events. Scholarship funds may not be
applied to show fees, board bills, or leasing costs. At the time of
application, applicants are not required to have detailed and
specific plans for the money.
Application Deadline October 1
of the
Year PRIOR to the
Scholarship Award. For
example, if you wish to receive money for an event taking place in
the year 2020, you must submit your Application Packet to NODA by
October 1, 2019.
Application Review A scholarship committee will review
and evaluate all applications received by the October 1 deadline
according to the
Scholarship
Evaluation Rubric.

receipt of applications.
Scholarship Recipients

they will be awarded NODA scholarship.

recipient determines an education event for which to use his/her
scholarship funds, he/she is required to submit a
