### Streamline Your Equestrian Scholarship Applications with Paperform

Finding and supporting talented equestrian students requires a thorough evaluation of riding skills, competition experience, horse care knowledge, and genuine commitment to the sport. This **Equestrian Scholarship Application Form** template helps colleges, universities, riding academies, and equestrian foundations collect comprehensive information from applicants in one beautifully designed, easy-to-complete form.

#### Why Equestrian Programs Need Professional Application Forms

Traditional paper applications or basic online forms often fall short when evaluating equestrian scholarship candidates. You need to assess technical riding ability, competition achievements, stable management skills, financial need, and personal dedication—all while creating an application experience that reflects the professionalism of your program.

This template is specifically designed for:

 - **College and university equestrian programs** recruiting student-athletes for NCAA, IHSA, or NCEA teams
 - **Riding academies and training centers** offering merit-based or need-based scholarships
 - **Equestrian foundations** supporting young riders pursuing competitive or educational goals
 - **Private barns and stables** providing working student scholarships or sponsorships

#### What Makes This Template Effective

Built with input from equestrian program administrators, this application form captures everything you need to make informed scholarship decisions:

**Comprehensive riding background:** Capture years of experience, disciplines (dressage, show jumping, eventing, western, etc.), training history, and current skill level to understand each applicant's foundation.

**Competition achievements:** Document show results, awards, rankings, and notable performances that demonstrate competitive ability and dedication.

**Horse care and stable management:** Assess practical knowledge of horse health, grooming, feeding, tack maintenance, and barn operations—essential skills for working students and scholarship recipients.

**Program commitment evaluation:** Understand applicants' goals, availability for lessons and shows, willingness to assist with stable duties, and long-term equestrian aspirations.

**Financial need consideration:** Optionally collect information about financial circumstances to balance merit and need-based awards.

#### How Paperform Elevates Your Scholarship Process

With Paperform's flexible form builder, you get more than just data collection:

**On-brand application experience:** Customize fonts, colors, and add your program's logo or barn photos to create an application that feels professional and welcoming. Great design shows applicants you run a quality program.

**Conditional logic for relevant questions:** Show or hide questions based on experience level, discipline, or program interest. Advanced riders see different questions than beginners, and competition-focused applicants provide different details than recreational riders.

**File uploads for supporting materials:** Let applicants attach competition records, video links of recent rides, recommendation letters, or veterinary certificates in the same form—no more scattered emails.

**Multi-page or guided experience:** Break the application into logical sections (Personal Information, Riding Experience, Competition History, etc.) so applicants don't feel overwhelmed by one long page.

**Automatic notifications and follow-ups:** Send instant confirmation emails to applicants and notifications to your scholarship committee when new applications arrive.

#### Extend Your Workflow with Stepper and Papersign

Once applications come in, Paperform's ecosystem helps you manage the entire scholarship lifecycle:

Use **[Stepper](https://stepper.io)** to build an automated workflow that:

 - Routes complete applications to your selection committee for review
 - Sends applications missing information back to candidates with specific requests
 - Updates your CRM or spreadsheet with applicant scores and rankings
 - Triggers finalist interview scheduling automatically
 - Keeps your team in sync across evaluation stages

Use **[Papersign](https://papersign.com)** to:

 - Send scholarship award agreements to winners for electronic signature
 - Collect signed stable use waivers and liability releases
 - Obtain parent/guardian consent for minor scholarship recipients
 - Keep all scholarship documentation linked to the original application

This creates a seamless experience from application through award and onboarding, without manual data entry or scattered files.

#### Perfect for Multiple Equestrian Contexts

While designed for scholarships, this template easily adapts to other equestrian selection processes:

 - **Working student positions** at professional training barns
 - **Summer intensive program applications** for young riders
 - **Team tryouts** for college or competitive riding programs
 - **Sponsorship applications** for talented riders seeking financial support
 - **Instructor training program admissions** evaluating teaching potential alongside riding skills

#### Built for the People Who Run Equestrian Programs

Whether you're an equestrian program director, barn manager, riding instructor, or foundation administrator, Paperform is designed for you to own and manage without needing technical skills. Make updates, add questions, adjust scoring, or change your form's look in minutes—no developer required.
