Frankel, is awarded to students whose families work in the Thoroughbred industry, pursuing any discipline. at a college or university in the State of California or New York. Both recipients of the Frankel Scholarship, whose parents worked at various New York racetracks, will attend New York universities.

I am very excited for these students to embark on their college careers and also for the future of the equine industry. These students are eager and willing to make a difference, and I am delighted that we can help alleviate some of the financial burden by awarding scholarships. ”
