We understand and recognize the rising cost of college or professional school attendance is a challenge for many. The Ed Brown Society Scholarship makes it possible for minority students who have an interest in the equine field to pursue a career within the Thoroughbred industry. 

​

Scholarships are awarded to incoming freshman, and current sophomore, junior, senior, and graduate students. While preference is given to students who are enrolled in an equine program of study, students pursuing other degrees (i.e., communications, marketing, accounting, information technology, etc.) that align with the thoroughbred industry are encouraged to apply.

​

Scholarships in the amount of $3,000 are awarded annually. In addition to scholarship assistance, students will receive personal and professional development, including possible internship placement. 

​
