September 2018 FRC Member Newsletter

FRC Scholarship Reminder
One of the perks of being an FRC member, is that you are
eligible to apply for one of the four $250 Member Scholarships that
we award each year. Scholarships can be used in a variety of ways. In
the past, they have been used for riders to defer the cost of going to events
such as championship competitions, rare educational opportunities, or clinics
applicable to your discipline. There are only a few requirements to be considered for a
scholarship. You must be a member at the time of your application, and you also must be
willing to share the knowledge you gained through your scholarship experience with the club in
some way (ideas must be approved by the scholarship committee). This could be a short
presentation at one of our seminars, info table or infographic at shows, newsletter report, etc.
Want to apply for a scholarship, but not sure if your endeavor would be approved- don’t worry!
The application is short, sweet and to the point. If there happens to be an influx of applicants
at any deadline, volunteer service to the FRC in the current and preceding membership year
will be considered when awarding scholarships. Application deadlines are April 1 st , July 1 st ,
October 1 st , and January 1 st depending on the date of the event. Any member is eligible to
apply!
On the Breyer website, they say that “Breyer is
renowned for the realism, authenticity and
detailed accuracy of its models.” Well, I want
to know why they don’t have a model that has
ambiguously acquired injuries, is covered in
mud, and has the coat of a yak.
