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 2009, over 380 scholarships have been granted and nearly $750,000 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.

The Horse Farm Workers’ Education Assistance Fund has awarded 32 scholarships for the 2010-2011 academic year to children of full-time workers on central Kentucky Thoroughbred farms. Scholarships for tuition are granted for education after high school and are based upon need, merit, essays and personal interviews.

To date, 416 annual scholarships (averaging nearly $2000 each) have been awarded since the Fund’s inception in 1996.  Two of the current scholars are Pollard Scholars at the University of Kentucky.  Many previous KHFWEAF scholars graduated from their respective colleges with honors while others were members of Dean's lists and one reached graduation as a 4.0 college valedictorian.
