Furthermore, the nominee will be submitted as a candidate to the USEF National Affiliates Working Group for consideration as the overall USEF Youth Sportsman's Award winner, and be nominated for the USEF Junior Equestrian of the Year Award. If selected by USEF as the overall Youth Sportsman's Charter Award winner, the presentation will take place at the Pegasus Awards Banquet at the USEF Annual Meeting in January 2007. The overall award winner will receive a trophy, a $1,000 scholarship to be paid to the educational program of their choice, and a lifetime membership to USEF, valued at $2,500.
