The Kentucky Equine Education Project (KEEP) Foundation and The Race For Education (RFE) have announced their 2022 scholarship recipients.
KEEP granted 13 scholarships worth $30,000 to students attending nine different Kentucky universities for 2022. Eligible recipients for KEEP scholarships must be currently enrolled at a school in Kentucky in either an equine and/or agriculture related major or their parents must work in the equine industry.
Additionally, the RFE awarded its annual Robert J. Frankel Scholarship to two New York state students: Anitza Parilla and Francis Marrone. Named in honor of the late Hall of Fame trainer Bobby Frankel and in its 12th year, the scholarship is open to any student attending a college in New York or California whose family is employed in the Thoroughbred industry.
“We had an excellent group of scholarship applicants this year,” said Alexandra Harper, KEEP Foundation's Executive Director. “I am excited for these students to embark on their collegiate careers and also for the future of the equine industry. These students are eager and ready to make a difference, and I'm glad that we can help take some of the financial burden off by awarding scholarships.”
