The U.S. Para-Equestrian Association has announced the Jonathan Wentz Memorial Scholarship Fund and the Jonathan Wentz Memorial Trophy, both in memory of Paralympian Wentz, who passed away last year at 21.

Scholarship funds awarded will help offset competition expenses up to $1,000 per competition to help cover entry and other fees, including stabling and/or shipping (must be greater than 500 miles one way) costs for competition.
