CAWDA Western Dressage Judges’ Scholarship
This annual scholarship supports CAWDA members who are pursuing Western
Dressage judge licensing—either just beginning the process or already working through the USEF/WDAA judge education pathway.
Western Dressage judges play a central role in the discipline, and this scholarship is designed to encourage and support new judges entering the field.
Eligibility Requirements
You may apply if:
-
You are an adult CAWDA member in good standing
-
You are interested in becoming a Western Dressage judge or are currently in the licensing process
-
You are not already a USEF‑licensed large “R” Western Dressage judge
This keeps the scholarship focused on developing judges who are still advancing through the program.
Application Window
Applications are accepted annually from January 1 through January 31.
This is a short window, so applicants typically prepare their materials ahead of time.
