NEEC Joanne C. Corsiglia Scholarship

Dedicated to the Memory of Mr. & Mrs. Frederick Reeve

*Application deadline October 1st

The New England Equitation Committee is pleased to announce that one annual scholarship award in the amount of $2,000 will be presented at the NEEC Finals at the Eastern States Exposition Center. The Scholarship has been made possible by the contributions and support of members, parents, patrons and friends of the NEEC to encourage junior and adult riders to seriously pursue education beyond the high school level. Candidates must have qualified for and compete in the current year’s NEHC Junior or Adult Medal Finals.

A panel of three will designate the recipient of the award, which is to be used solely for educational expenses. Applicants will have nine months from the Finals to tell Amy Eidson (amyeidson1961@gmail.com) or Cookie DeSimone (cookieandfrank@aol.com) where they will be attending college, professional school, or other continuing education program.

Please direct any questions to Dr. Kate Chope (katechope@yahoo.com).
