Region 10 Mary Anne Grimmell Scholarships
Application Deadline:  May 4, 2012
Two Scholarships for $1,000 will be awarded in 2012
provided qualified applicants apply.
Rules & application form below.
 
 

Region 10 is proud to announce that again this year scholarships will be offered for post high school education.  The scholarships will be presented in the name of Mary Anne Grimmell (1926-2010), a former Director of Region 10 and President of IAHA.  She also served with distinction as an Arabian and Pinto judge, as a USEF Steward, and as a mentor to countless others, with a particular interest in youth and education.  During Mary Anne's term as Region 10 Director, she spear-headed the establishment of this scholarship program.

Since 1990, when Mary Anne was Region 10 Director, Region 10 has offered a scholarship program for members pursuing post-high school education.  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.
