Region 10 is proud to announce that for the eighteenth year scholarships will be awarded for post high school education.  Two $1,000 scholarships will be offered in 2009.  The deadline for these scholarships is May 7, 2010.

Since 1990, Region 10 has offered a scholarship program for members pursuing post-high school education, and there are usually two scholarships available each year.  These scholarships are open to any current member of a Region 10 affiliated club who has been a Region 10 club member for at least two of the last five years and who has been a Region 10 resident within the previous five years.  Applicants are evaluated on their academic record (including attendance), financial need, equine background, leadership, and a sense of direction in furthering their education--with each of these criteria having equal weight.  Scholarships are open to both youth and adult members. The application deadline is early in May, and winners are announced at the Region 10 Championship Show.

The Mark Larscheidt scholar FUND is proud to announce that for the fourth year a scholarship will be offered in the amount of $500.  This scholarship will honor a young, charismatic, energetic and talented trainer, Mark Larscheidt, who died tragically in an automobile accident in 1999.  He is survived by his parents, Tony and Gene Larscheidt. Together the three of them ran the very successful Larscheidt Training Center in Sussex, WI.  The deadline for the applications is May 14, 2010.

This scholarship is open to members of Region 10 who meet the following requirements: academic records including attendance, financial need, equine background, leadership and sense of direction in furthering their education.  For more information and an application, contact: Gay Jeanne Bower, PO Box 6, Johnson Creek, WI 53038 – 920.699.3690 – gayjbower@yahoo.com.  The application form is also available on the Region 10 website.
