Applications Now Open for Kim Meier "Kick On" Memorial Grant

The USEA Foundation is now accepting applications for the Kim Meier “Kick On” Memorial Grant through October 15th. This grant, established in honor of Meier who made it to the highest level of the sport through her own grit and determination, is intended to assist those riders who are struggling to financially compete their own horses at the upper levels and who have passed beyond the funding available for juniors and young adults. This fund was established and funded through the generosity of Kim’s friends.

Grant applicants must meet the following criteria:

  • Be 26 years of age or older
  • Be current members of the USEA
  • Wholly own their own horse(s) without partnerships or syndicates
  • Be currently at the Preliminary level, FEI equivalent level, or above (preference given to Intermediate or Advanced level riders).
  • Submit their application by or before the due date of October 15th

One applicant who meets the above criteria will be selected to receive a $5,000 grant to help support their competitive or training goals.

Interested parties may apply here.
