The U.S. Equestrian Federation has announced the continuation of its Licensed Official Grant program for 2024, and applications are now open.
Now in the third year of offering this grant, USEF is hoping to encourage new individuals to become licensed and help current officials as well. The grant is intended to reduce financial barriers for USEF or U.S. FEI officials related to a new license application or a license promotion. A description of the grant program, eligibility requirements, and online application can be found here.
The application deadline is March 1, 2024.
For any questions regarding the USEF grant, or the application process in general, reach out to Alina Brazzil, Director of Licensed Officials, at [email protected] or (859) 225-2044.
