The Horse Farm Workers' Educational Assistance Fund is a 501(c)(3) Tax Exempt Charity

 THE HORSE FARM WORKERS' EDUCATIONAL ASSISTANCE FUND

 

The Fund was created in 1996 to provide scholarship assistance for education after high school to the children of full-time Thoroughbred horse farm workers in central Kentucky.  Through 2007, over 330 scholarships have been granted and nearly $700,000 has been distributed to a deserving group of dedicated young people who possess an outstanding work ethic.  The scholarships provide important assistance to the recipients, and also serve a practical purpose for the Thoroughbred industry as many of the scholars eventually return to work with horses.

 

The Fund also provides financial assistance to full-time horse farm workers who seek equine related training aimed at increasing their horse knowledge and on-the-job effectiveness.
