PATH Intl. Announces 2015 Conference Scholarship Winners
Denver – Eleven individuals have been awarded scholarships to attend the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International (PATH Intl.) Conference and Annual Meeting in Cleveland, OH.
The event, presented by title sponsor Purina, will be November 4-7 at the Renaissance Cleveland Hotel and will feature keynote luncheon speaker Jackie Stevenson, educational sessions led by industry experts, discussion forums and networking opportunities, the much anticipated awards banquet on Friday night and the popular horse expo on Saturday (at Fieldstone Farm Therapeutic Riding Program, a PATH Intl. Premier Accredited Center in Chagrin Falls).
PATH Intl. received nearly 100 applications. The 11 PATH Intl. Region Representatives were blind judges and chose the winners. Each application was scored by two judges, and region representatives did not score applications of those in their own region. Ten individuals received the general scholarship and one individual received the Marjorie V. Kittredge Equine-Facilitated Psychotherapy and Learning (EFP/L) Scholarship. All winners must be PATH Intl. members, and the winner of the Marjorie V. Kittredge award must also be an equine-facilitated psychotherapy or equine-assisted learning professional or studying to become one. Scholarships cover the cost of the conference registration of $670. The conference, including educational credits, is valued at nearly $3,000.
Congratulations to our 2015 PATH Intl. Conference scholarship winners!
