Serrault-Gorthy Scholarship Applications Due March 15, 2011 for 2011/2012 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 Jamie Johnson, Rachel Renken, Maddie Vosburgh, Katie Ralph, Ariel Smith, Chelsea Dietz, and Mariah Moxley.

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 March 15, 2010. Please include your name, complete address and phone number on your application so the committee can contact you in the event of questions.

Selection of the award(s) is made by an independent committee of retired educators not affiliated with KQHA. Please submit application and essay to:
