The safety of our young players, families, horses, staff and volunteers is always important to those of us involved in the Polo Training Foundation. Currently we are deeply concerned about COVID-19 (Corona Virus) which the World Health Organization is now calling a pandemic. For these reasons, the PTF regrets to announce that the Buzz Welker Memorial and the Yunghanns' Charity Challenge have been cancelled.
The Polo Training Foundation introduced a new scholarship program in 2011. The scholarship is available at colleges and universities with an athletic program in polo and provides financial assistance for students who participate in the sport of polo. It is designed to reduce the financial burden of tuition for those who demonstrate financial need.
In addition to meeting a high academic standard, applicants will be required to participate in the collegiate polo program at the school they are attending. These scholarships will be awarded based on financial need. The scholarship application can be found through the link at the bottom of this page.
Scholarships will be funded from donations made to the PTF scholarship fund. Donations will be divided with one half being for immediate use and the other half to go towards building a scholarship endowment.
Those interested in donating to the scholarship program should contact the PTF office by phone:
