For the sixth consecutive year scholarships are again
available for those pursuing higher education related to the harness racing
industry.
“Our Equine Scholarship Fund provides assistance for
any individual in the harness racing community-their children and/or family
members-- in pursuit of higher education, “ noted David Yarock, an avid amateur
driver and the president of both the Donald Meyer Memorial Scholarship
Fund and the Edward Weiner and Edward Yarock Equine Scholarship Fund.
“Our goal is to expand the fund in order to assist as many students
as possible.
“The future of the harness industry is dependent upon young
educated people becoming a part of it and we hope to play an
integral role by providing this financial assistance.”
Last year a total of 21,000 was distributed to 18 deserving
students and again this year scholarships are available. Applications for
scholarships are now available and can be found at www.equinescholarship.com but
they must be filed before May 31st .
