National Awards
Each year National Block and Bridle identifies outstanding clubs and individuals in the form of end of the year awards presented at the National Block and Bridle Convention. Awards are presented to the top five clubs in each of the following categories: chapter activities, chapter scrapbook, chapter webpage, and published chapter yearbook. Member awards include the top five juniors and top three seniors from among students enrolled at four-year colleges and universities, and the top two sophomores from among students attending two-year schools. To increase participation in National Convention, the National Chapter awards travel grants to newly-chartered Block and Bridle Chapters and chapters with financial need.
