Applicants were required to submit their name, county, 4-H club, years in 4-H and years in horsemanship. They also provided essay responses to questions explaining why they wanted to attend such a show and how attending would help them reach their goals with their 4-H horse project.
Qualifications were that the recipient be an enrolled 4-H member, be showing in their first AQHA show, be able to attend the Western Montana Quarter Horse Association Show at the Sapphire Event Center in Corvallis, own a registered quarter horse and purchase a Montana Quarter Horse Youth Association (MQHYA) membership.
Each scholarship package included the following: registration and show fees for the Novice Youth Division, drug fees and show office fees, and stalls Thursday through Saturday of the WMQHA Show totaling an approximate value of $275.
Scholarships were made possible through donations from an anonymous benefactor, the Sapphire Event Center, the Western Montana Quarter Horse Association.
If a 4-H member is interested in applying for this scholarship next year, contact Pondera County Extension for more information.
Rodriguez is 14 years old, and member of the 4 Leaf Clovers 4-H Club.
