Whenever I come across a resource that I feel could benefit your horse career or business, I am keen to share it! And so is the case with this article on Equine Studies Scholarships. The linked page is solely made up of a list of eleven different scholarships related to equine studies.
Although it is ‘only’ a list, it links to details on each scholarship. It also identifies the amount that is on offer through the individual scholarships. These range from $500 for the Animal Compassion Undergraduate Scholarship to $75,000 for the AQHA Coyote Rock Ranch Veterinary Scholarship. The rest range between these two amounts and fit under different categories.
There are veterinary scholarships, a thoroughbred scholarship and an equestrian science focused one. Whatever your desired area of study relating to horses, I have no doubt it is worth checking out these eleven different scholarships that are listed on the TUN website.
I know here in Australia an equine science degree is around $20-30,000. That said, the roles that you are able to get into because of such a qualification pay a lot more per year than the cost of the qualification. Chances are this is the same for varying horse courses around the world. They will cost you to get them. And of course to invest the time in studying and passing the various subjects. But each equine qualification can lead to a different – or many different – equine career paths.
What’s wonderful about so many different equine studies scholarships is that you can truly explore your horse career options. Whether it be for a short course or a four year degree, it seems there are scholarships on offer to cover these costs.
Don’t conclude you can’t gain a horse qualification because you don’t have the money for it currently. Scholarships can be a great way to gain experience and a qualification to chase after your dream horse career.
