Keeneland, KTA Partner to Giveaway 10 $1,000 College Scholarships

College students can win $1,000 toward their education in a scholarship program co-presented by Keeneland and the Kentucky Thoroughbred Association Friday, Oct.15.

Full-time college students who present a valid college I.D. and complete the necessary registration form will be eligible to win one of 10 $1,000 scholarships given away on College Day. Each student also will receive a voucher for free admission, good anytime during the remainder of the fall meeting.

"As our state's signature industry, we feel it is important for us to assist the next generation of Kentuckians by helping them complete their college education," said KTA representative David Schneck.

After each race, one winner will be selected via random drawing and announced over the public address system. Following the ninth race, a tenth scholarship will be awarded to a student directly affiliated with the horse industry.

Students eligible for the industry scholarship must show proof of their affiliation and are not eligible to be part of the general pool of scholarship hopefuls.

Students should enter through East Entrance to receive free admission.
Winners must be present to claim their prize.

More than 4,000 students from all over the country have participated in this program since it was introduced at Keeneland in October 2002.
