The concept behind US Equestrian Scholarships is quite simple; it provides talented amateur sportsmen and women with an exclusive opportunity to pursue both an academic and Equestrian career simultaneously. An Equestrian Scholarship to an American university can cover some, and at times all, of the costs associated with earning a university degree. In return, the student-athlete will represent the university in Equestrian athletics and maintain a good level of academic performance.
An Equestrian scholarship to the USA is a unique opportunity to pursue an academic and playing career within some of the best academic and sporting environments in the World. Now an emerging sport in the NCAA, equestrian sports are offering more scholarships to attract top talent. Currently, the NCAA limits equestrian scholarships to 15 per college or university. While many athletes pursue their sport professionally, many other career opportunities can be explored: stable manager, horse trainer, riding instructor or professional horse handler. Many schools with equestrian scholarships, offer courses that may interest the athlete, including animal science and veterinary medicine as major fields of study.
To be considered for a FirstPoint USA Equestrian Scholarship, you should be physically fit, have a high level of skill in Equestrian athletics; you should possess a real drive and ambition to succeed. Academically, you must have completed high school and have grades to meet the initial-eligibilty requirements for the NCAA, NAIA or NJCAA. Good academic standing is an essential aspect of life as a student-athlete and this must be maintained throughout your collegiate sports career. Failure to do so could see you prohibited from training and participating, and potentially lead to your scholarship being withdrawn completely. The NCAA, NAIA and NJCAA each have strict rules regarding the good academic standing of all competing athletes.
