Scholarship and Grant Programs Overview
At the American Hanoverian Society Foundation, we are deeply committed to advancing the breeding, management and training of sport horses, particularly the Hanoverian and Rhineland breeds, across the United States. Central to our mission is the belief that education and financial support are essential pillars in fostering excellence within the equestrian community.
Our Scholarship and Grant Programs are instrumental in fulfilling our mission by providing financial assistance and educational opportunities to individuals and organizations dedicated to the betterment of the sport horse industry. Through these programs, we aim to support the next generation of breeders, trainers and enthusiasts as they pursue their passion for Hanoverian and Rhineland horses.
Our inaugural scholarship fund, The Rachel Ehrlich Scholarship Fund, was generously established by Drs. Barbara J. Davis and J. Carl Barrett. This fund honors the mentorship of Rachel Ehrlich, who has dedicated her professional life to breeding and promoting quality Hanoverians, while actively supporting and mentoring new breeders and riders dedicated to their horse’s welfare and development.
As the Foundation continues to grow and expand its impact, we remain committed to the thoughtful development of additional funds for our Scholarship and Grant Programs. Through strategic planning and responsible stewardship, we strive to ensure that our resources are effectively allocated to support the greatest needs and opportunities within the equestrian community.
