TQHA Foundation Scholarship
The TQHA Foundation (TQHAF) Scholarships support TQHYA members in their pursuit of higher education making that education more affordable. Since the Foundation’s inception, more than $300,000 in TQHAF Scholarships have been awarded. Recipients are selected based on active participation in TQHYA, AQHA or other equine activities with an emphasis on leadership; strong academic credentials; financial need; demonstrated leadership in school and community organizations; and effective communication skills. Successful candidates must demonstrate a documented history of TQHYA participation while promoting its programs in a meaningful way.
To be eligible, candidates must have been a TQHYA or TQHA member since January 1, 2022, have a 3.0 minimum GPA and apply during their senior year of high school or while enrolled at an accredited college, university, or vocational school. Current or previous TQHAF scholarship recipients are not eligible. (Note: TQHYA or TQHA membership requirements will increase to minimum 3-year membership by 2024.)
TQHAF Scholarships are to be used for undergraduate studies at an accredited college, university, or vocational institution as a full-time student. Scholarships are four or two year awards, with annual payments to the institution, and continuation is subject to the recipient maintaining full-time student status and a 2.5 minimum GPA.
