The Kentucky Equine Education Project (KEEP) Foundation has announced the allocation of $20,000 in scholarships to students pursuing equine studies or a related field within the state of Kentucky.
Ten separate $2,000 scholarships will be awarded to students from any state who have decided to study within the equine, animal science or agriculture industry of Kentucky. The scholarships are also open to individuals with family employed in Kentucky s equine, animal science or agriculture industry.
The goal of these scholarships – made possible by the Race for Education – is to shed a light on career opportunities in the vibrant equine industry of Kentucky, which is home to thousands of horse farms and over 240,000 horses. The equine industry employs over 60,000 people and has a $6.5 billion annual cumulative direct, indirect, induced economic impact.
KEEP: A Legislative Fix For HHR Is About Keeping The Status Quo, Not Expanding Gaming Sponsored by:
The Kentucky Equine Education Project (KEEP), Kentucky s equine economic advocate, released the following statement on the importance of legislation to maintain historical horse racing in Kentucky on Tuesday:
Kentucky s signature equine industry has a simple request for state legislators in 2021: maintain the status quo and protect local jobs and investment by allowing historical horse racing to continue in Kentucky. Inaction would cost us thousands of jobs, millions in tax revenue and significant economic development opportunities at a time when they are needed most. The longer-term impact to Kentucky s world-renowned horse racing industry, including the breeding, farming, training, tourism and other sectors it supports, is of even greater concern.
