The Hulet Hornbeck Emerging Leaders Scholarship Program was launched in 2013 as part of the American Trails International Trails Symposium. The program was named in memory of lifelong trail activist Hulet Hornbeck.
Since inception, we have offered scholarships to 66 worthy recipients, not including our current year. Starting with the 2023 International Trails Summit, American Trails and the Professional TrailBuilders Association (PTBA) have partnered on the ETL scholarship program to offer future scholarships at ITS, as well as PTBA’s annual conference (opposite years of ITS) and plan to provide more support post-conference to scholarship recipients.
