ASHA Announces Youth Scholarship Recipients

Each year the American Saddlebred Horse Association (ASHA) recognizes its junior members age 21 and under on the basis of academic success, financial need, involvement with the American Saddlebred and the ASHA youth programs, and extracurricular activities including community service. The purpose of the 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. For 2020, the ASHA is presenting two scholarships of $5,000 each helped made possible by the 2020 United States Equestrian Trust Grant awarded to ASHA.  

ASHA is pleased to announce the following scholarship recipients this year.

In a year like any other we are grateful we were still able to award these scholarships to our ASHA Youth.
