Investing in the Next Generation
The Classic Series Scholarship Program recognizes the dedication, commitment, and achievements of young members while supporting their continued growth through educational opportunities. By investing in the next generation, we help strengthen the future of the draft horse industry.
History
The North American Six-Horse Hitch Classic Series (NASHHCS) created the scholarship fund in 2021 to provide support to a current or past Youth Classic Cart Series exhibitor who intends to further their knowledge and skills beyond their secondary education.
