RMBA
Scholarship Fundraising Jackpot Cutting
Eligible Youth and Adults are encouraged to apply for up to $300 to support taking courses, clinics, training, or workshops which
enhance the horse industry. These educational experiences in turn help the future of the equine industry and/or RMBA. The
number of scholarships available will depend on the funds raised through the Jackpot Cutting fundraiser. If there are more
applicants than scholarships, a lottery will be held. Successful candidates will be ineligible for one year following receipt of a
scholarship, before reapplying for another RMBA Scholarship.
Applications are due on or before September 1st for the coming year’s scholarships. Applicants need not know exactly what
course or workshop they are taking, but should have an idea of cost. Reimbursement requests, receipts, and proof of credits
earned or workshops taken are due by September 30th of the following year. If someone is drawn for a scholarship, but does not
use it, the scholarship money will remain in the fund for use the next year.
Scholarship recipients must show proof of intent to attend a function by the September 30th deadline. Money will be dispersed
upon submittal of proof of credits earned or workshop attendance. This may include an official of the workshop, clinic, etc,
signing off with their name/address/ph/& original signature. If a change occurs and the recipient is no longer able to attend the
training within the time frame, a written notice to the RMBA should be submitted within ten (10) working days to allow time to
redraw for an eligible recipient, if possible.
