Meadows Scholarships Being Accepted

Published: March 30, 2015 12:05 pm EDT

The Meadows Standardbred Owners Association has announced that applications are now being accepted for its 2015-2016 Collegiate Scholarship Program.

The MSOA’s scholarship program, which began in 2008, continues to grow. Thanks to generous donations from many members of the harness racing community, more than $13,000 will be available to deserving young men and women.

This year’s scholarship options include the $5,000 MSOA Collegiate Scholarship, the $2,500 CSC Insurance Options Scholarship, the $1,000 Dr. Barry C Betts Memorial Scholarship (sponsored by LCM Nutraceuticals), the Crazed Scholarship (sponsored by Hanover Shoe Farms) and the Tom Ridge Scholarship (sponsored by Ted Tomson).

Applicants must be a son or daughter of an owner, trainer, driver or groom that has participated in harness racing in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on a regular basis over the two years preceding the application. Said parent must be a member of the MSOA, and the applicant must be at least a senior in high school.

One application covers all of the above listed scholarships. An independent committee will review the applicants and determine the winners of each individual award.

Applications must be submitted to the MSOA office or postmarked no later than Friday, May 1, 2015.
