Supporting Higher Education

College Scholarships Provided by USPC

Pony Club offers several college scholarships to members interested in continuing their education. Pony Club scholarships are awarded based on merit, as well as an essay, to any member meeting the qualifications. Members must be accepted or enrolled in an institution of higher education. This may include a university, college, community college, or a technical or vocational school. Additionally, many colleges offer scholarships to Pony Club members. Each college that offers a Pony Club scholarship has specific requirements. Interested members should check with the admissions office of the institution they are wishing to attend for more information. Pony Club is proud of its members and the opportunities it is able to provide to continue their education, whether it is in the barn, on the back of a horse, or in an institute of higher learning.
