Serrault-Gorthy Scholarship Applications Due March 15, 2010 for 2010/2011 School Year

The KQHA Serrault-Gorthy scholarship is funded through the KQHA Educational & Research Fund, a licensed charitable entity with the state of Kansas. Donations to the scholarship fund are tax free. The scholarship is named after Bob Serrault the long time 81/40 club president in Salina and Paul Gorthy from Saint Francis, KS. The first winner was Nancy Olson in 1980/1981. This years winners were Sydney Doane and Alex Graber.

In 2007 the fund received a large boost from the bequest from the estate of Robert Young, a Quarter Horse enthusiast from Salina, KS. We receive 1/3 of the yearly income from the estate into the scholarship fund in addition to our previous funds. This bequest has significantly increased the value of the scholarships.

All KQHYA members of at least 3 years including the application year are eligible to apply for the funds. Application is by essay detailing equine accomplishments, academic accomplishments and extracurricular activities. The deadline for seniors to apply for the fall semester is February 15, 2010.

Selection of the award(s) is made by an independent committee of retired educators not affiliated with KQHA.
