July 11 Deadline: Final Call for NAYC Jumping Athlete Applications to USET Foundation’s Performance Pathway Grant Program

In March, the United States Equestrian Team (USET) Foundation, the philanthropic partner of US Equestrian (USEF), announced the launch of the USET Foundation Performance Pathway Grant Program, an initiative aimed at ensuring that financial barriers do not hinder up-and-coming U.S. jumping athletes from representing the United States on the world stage.
Jumping athletes who are interested in the grant program and have been invited to participate in the Gotham North/FEI North American Youth Jumping Championships (NAYC) presented by USHJA taking place July 29- August 3, 2025, at the Great Lakes Equestrian Festival in Traverse City, Michigan, are encouraged to apply by Friday, July 11.
