The FHBPA Scholarship Program

Currently based in Miami, Florida, Amancio Alonso is an active participant in the horse racing industry and owns multiple race horses. Amancio Alonso is also a member of the Florida Horseman’s Benevolent Protective Association (FHBPA), which offers a range of charitable programs that include an annual scholarship program.

The FHBPA scholarship program provides funding for post-secondary studies to students who maintain good academic standing with their schools. The scholarship is annually renewable, and is available to students who come from households that earn less than $75,000 per year. In addition, applicants must be in an approved horse-related field (or be a dependent of someone who is involved in equestrian activities), and be full-time residents of Florida. New applicants may also be required to pass a personal interview.

While the scholarship is only available to those who fulfill these specifications, there are no restrictions on the field of study for scholarship recipients, and study may take place at any accredited trade school, college, or community college.
