At least $20,000 or more will be distributed this year through the Maryland Thoroughbred Industry Scholarship Fund, including the Eddie McMullen and Lucy Acton Memorial scholarships.
The scholarship program is a joint venture between the Maryland Thoroughbred Horsemen’s Association, Maryland Horse Breeders Association, Maryland Racing Media Association, Maryland Jockey Club and various other individual donors. The program is designed to provide meaningful financial assistance to currently enrolled students who are active members of the Maryland Thoroughbred racing industry.
