QCABHA SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM 2021

Quad City All Breed Horse Association is proud to once again be offering a scholarship program for people involved in this
club, the community of horses and the community in general. This is a cash scholarship paid directly to the institution of
the recipient’s choice or to the individual based on availability. This scholarship is funded by the efforts of the club
