Scholarships
Program fees cover approximately 20% of our annual costs. As a not-for-profit organization, CTREE relies on individual and foundation support to subsidize 80% of our operating costs each year. The CTREE Board of Directors has established the CTREE Scholarship Fund. Children who are in need of the benefits of therapeutic riding, but who are experiencing financial hardship can receive partial scholarships.

Lesson Scholarship Opportunities
An underlying mission of CTREE is to make its lessons available to all participants whose application for registration is accepted. CTREE is able to fulfill this mission through the generosity of our supporters and the administration of a scholarship program based strictly on need.
Application for Scholarship
NEW PARTICIPANTS
Individuals applying to participate in CTREE lessons may request a Scholarship Application and submit it with their application for participation. Scholarships are awarded only after the individual has been evaluated and accepted into CTREE’s lesson program.
CURRENT PARTICIPANTS
Scholarships are awarded for individual sessions or the entire riding year (Fall through Summer Semesters). All scholarship requests must be renewed on an annual basis by submitting a newly completed Scholarship Application.
Awarding of Scholarships
All information provided on the Scholarship Application is kept in strict confidence. The Scholarship Committee reviews the applications and may find it necessary to request additional information; this is arranged by the CTREE office on a confidential basis. Scholarships are awarded in the form of credit toward the tuition for scheduled services; the participant is notified of this award in writing.
Acceptance of Scholarships
Upon accepting an awarded scholarship, recipients/families of awarded scholarships are required to assist CTREE in furthering its mission and fundraising by helping at Open Houses and with other forms of outreach and volunteering to help with at least one fund-raiser during the year.
All scholarship information is kept strictly confidential.
