Leg Up Scholarships

SEE’s Leg Up Scholarships offer a variety of opportunities for riders from diverse backgrounds to train with top professionals and advance their equestrian goals. Scholarships typically cover the cost of instruction for a 2-5 day period or event entry fees. Scholarships do not typically cover the cost of the recipient’s travel except where noted. Some scholarships include room and board or use of a lesson horse.
