<strong>FRC</strong> Scholarship Reminder<br />
One of the perks of being an <strong>FRC</strong> member, is that you are eligible to apply<br />
for one of the four $250 <strong>Member</strong> Scholarships that we award each year.<br />
Scholarships can be used in a variety of ways. In the past, they have been used for riders to<br />
defer the cost of going to events such as championship competitions, rare educational opportunities,<br />
or clinics applicable to your discipline. There are only a few requirements to be<br />
considered for a scholarship. You must be a member at the time of your application, and<br />
you also must be willing to share the knowledge you gained through your scholarship experience<br />
with the club in some way (ideas must be approved by the scholarship committee).<br />
This could be a short presentation at one of our seminars, info table or infographic at shows,<br />
newsletter report, etc.<br />
Want to apply for a scholarship, but not sure if your endeavor would be approved- don’t worry!<br />
The application is short, sweet and to the point. If there happens to be an influx of applicants<br />
at any deadline, volunteer service to the <strong>FRC</strong> in the current and preceding membership<br />
year will be considered when awarding scholarships. Application deadlines are April<br />
1 st , July 1 st , October 1 st , and January 1 st depending on the date of the event. Any member<br />
is eligible to apply!<br />
Have you ever wanted to volunteer at an <strong>FRC</strong> show but were not sure what<br />
the different jobs entail?<br />
The volunteer job descriptions are now up on the website!<br />
Go to www.foothillsridingclub.com and look for the links to job descriptions<br />
on the right hand side of the shows page.<br />
Volunteers earn club bucks for their time which can be used like cash for<br />
club events and merchandise. <strong>FRC</strong> also has a volunteer appreciation<br />
program where hours served count towards great year-end awards!<br />
