Over $35,000 Available in Youth Scholarships
July 2, 2019 – Join the Arabian Horse Association (AHA) at State Fair Park in Oklahoma City from July 21-27, 2019, for the 27th Annual Youth National Arabian & Half-Arabian Championship Horse Show.
This year at the show, there will be over $35,000 in scholarships for AHA youth riders with 38 scholarships ranging from $500 - $2,500 are available. Scholarships are awarded based on a variety of qualifications from being crowned a National Champion or Reserve National Champion to finishing in the Top 10 of a designated class.
The Friends of Vail scholarships will be given to riders in the 10 & under, 13 & under and 14-18 divisions, as well as to two graduating seniors. These scholarships are given in memory of Vail Johnson, a nine-year-old rider who passed away in 2016 from a heart condition.
