Applications Now Open for 2024 Jimmy Wofford Legacy Fund Scholarship
The Waredaca Eventing Education Foundation (WEEF) is pleased to announce an expansion of the 2024 Jimmy Wofford Legacy Fund Scholarships thanks to the generous donations of WEEF supporters and several USEA Classic Three-Day event organizers. This year’s scholarship funds will be awarded to several riders from across the country and includes entries to various USEA Classic Three-Day events spread out from coast to coast!
The Jimmy Wofford Legacy Fund Scholarship was created in 2023 to honor the late Jimmy Wofford. Wofford was influential in creating the Classic-Three Day series and was a strong supporter of these events. Like Wofford, previous scholarship recipients showed a dedication to
the sport of eventing here in the U.S. through volunteering, continuing education and competing.
The 2024 Jimmy Wofford Legacy Fund Scholarship winners will each be awarded $1000 cash support to be used towards training and expenses related to competing in a 2024 USEA Classic Three-Day Event. In addition, Scholarship winners will also be awarded one entry to one of the following participating Classic Three-Day Events:
- Indiana Eventing Association (IN) May 31-June 2
- The Event at Rebecca Farm (MT) July 17-21
- Spokane Sport Horse 10th Annual Fall HTs (WA) September 26-29
- Hagyard Midsouth Three-Day Event (KY) October 16-20
- Waredaca Classic Three-Day Event (MD) October 25-27
(note – additional events may be added to the above list should they choose to participate in the
Wofford Scholarship program)
The 2024 Jimmy Wofford Memorial Fund Scholarship is open to adult amateur and junior riders competing at any level within USEA. Applicants must be working towards competing in a 2024 USEA Classic Three-Day Event and in need of financial support to achieve this competition goal.
