AQHA Supports Youth Through YEDA Sponsorship

The American Quarter Horse Association’s new sponsorship of the Youth Equestrian Development Association offers scholarship opportunities.

The American Quarter Horse Association is proud to partner with the Youth Equestrian Development Association (YEDA) to create new scholarship opportunities for participating American Quarter Horse Youth Association members. YEDA encourages the development of riders’ skills, emphasizes exposure to scholarship opportunities and connects youth with college programs.

YEDA participants who are also AQHYA members can earn scholarships through the AQHA Outstanding Youth Awards as well as through the YEDA Scholarship Incentive Fund Program. To be eligible for the AQHA Outstanding Youth Award:

  • Participants must have a current AQHYA membership.
  • Complete the selection application.

Eligible YEDA members are encouraged to apply in the spring of 2023.

See below about how to enroll in and compete for the YEDA Scholarship Incentive Fund.

If you do not have a current AQHYA membership, you can join or renew

YEDA youth members can receive a discounted AQYHA membership by using the code YEDA
