IEL Senior Awards

2007-2008 IEL Senior Scholarships

Dear IEL Senior:

The Interscholastic Equestrian League has been fortunate in past years to be able to award college scholarships to deserving riders. This is the IEL’s way of saying thank you for the many years of support, congratulations on your accomplishments, and most importantly, to wish each of you good luck in the future.

The "IEL Senior Scholarships" are designed to recognize the many wonderful qualities of our IEL riders—talented equestrians who have achieved success through athletics, academics, extracurricular activities, and/or given back to society through community service. Scholarship recipients will be announced at our year-end banquet (date to be determined), at which time they will be honored and presented with a monetary award to help them further their education.

The following items will be reviewed for nomination and selection. Complete application packets must be postmarked by Friday, March 14, 2008, and mailed back to:

  Sharon Liveten
