Scholarships
Graduating seniors or college/trade school students can apply for a scholarship from the BEHC. Applicants must live in Brazos or an immediate surrounding County, and demonstrate involvement with horses or the equine industry. Scholarship amount is determined by the annual committee budget and the number of qualified applicants.
Grants
Local equine related non-profit organizations may submit a grant request to help pay for events, teams, or expenses. Recipients should be able to demonstrate how the funding will serve the mission of the Brazos Extension Horse Committee. Applicants may be asked to attend a meeting in order to advocate on behalf of their request and answer questions by the committee.
