Performance Pathway Jumping Grant | USET Foundation USET Foundation Performance Pathway Jumping Grant The USET Foundation Performance Pathway Jumping Grant Program launched in 2025 with the goal of ensuring financial barriers do not hinder American equestrian athletes from representing the United States on the world stage.
The initiative is designed to provide critical financial support to jumping riders (FEI Children’s through U25) who have earned the prestigious opportunity to compete as part of USEF-sponsored teams, competitions, and high performance programs.
From developmental programs and competitions to senior teams, the costs associated with representing the U.S.—including rider and groom travel, horse transport, coaching, and training—can be significant.
This program helps bridge that gap by offsetting the cost of participating in a specific USEF high performance program or competing as part of a U.S. team, ultimately ensuring that deserving athletes can focus on their performance rather than their expenses. Read the press release HERE .
