USEA Intercollegiate Eventing Program
In 2014, the USEA Board of Governors approved the creation of the
Intercollegiate Eventing Program as an official program of the USEA.
Originally proposed with input from the Intercollegiate Eventing
League, the program was established to provide a framework on
which eventing teams and individual competitors could flourish at
universities and colleges across the country. Collegiate athletic
programs have been the training grounds for Olympians, amateur
athletes, and professional athletes for generations. Enabling students to train in the Olympic
sport of eventing is a natural addition.
There are no qualifications necessary for the Championship, but schools represented must be
registered Affiliates of the USEA. Students must be enrolled as undergraduate students. With
school approval, they may compete in the USEA Intercollegiate Eventing Championship up to
six months after graduating, allowing December graduates to compete in the May
Championship.
