Pillars of Work
Scholarship - The OQHA Scholarship Committee was established to provide opportunities for deserving OQHA or OQHYA members who wish to further their education in a college, university, or other institute of higher learning. Each year, the OQHA President shall appoint a scholarship committee consisting of at least, but not limited to, two OQHA Directors. Scholarshops (both new and renewals) will be awarded upon recommendation of the scholarship committee and approval of the OQHA Board of Directors, dependent upon monies available in the annual budget.
Crisis Assistance - The Ohio Quarter Horse Foundation's Crisis Fund assists those affected by sudden and demonstrable hardship, diaster, or serious physical illness, based on proven financial need.
Education - In alignment with our mission, the Ohio Quarter Horse Foundation is proud to offer the Congress Classroom to all exhibitors at each year's All American Quarter Horse Congress. Thanks to generous donors, the Congress Classroom is equipped with complementary wifi for students to have a quiet environment to complete schoolwork while in Columbus. The classroom is open each day of the horse show and is located in the on the second floor of the Brown Sheep Barn, on the west side.
