PDFAWARDS
TRAINING SCHOLARSHIPS: A volunteer can qualify to be entered into a pool for scholarships if he/she meets the required number of volunteer hours. The number of scholarships that will be awarded will depend on the financial health of IEO. Typically, scholarships are awarded in $100 increments. Recipients are drawn by random, we use the “pull a name from the hat method” at the year end awards banquet. Beginning in 2018, the one young rider who tallies up the most volunteer time will automatically receive a $100 scholarship. Ties for the young rider scholarship will be broken by random drawing.
SCHOOLING SHOW AWARDS: There are two categories of awards offered at each show and can be won by both members and non members- Level High Score of the Day and Division High Score of the Day.
