from the Christian Harness Horsemen’s Association

Salem, NH — Five scholarships were awarded by the Christian Harness Horsemen’s Association this year — Praise God!

When I told one of our members about all the wonderful students who had applied, he made a sizeable donation so we could help more kids.

We received many applications from well qualified Christian students of our harness racing families. Recipients were chosen based on their faith statements, academic and leadership achievements and financial need.

Below and continued on our website are photographs of this year’s scholarship recipients and excerpts from their essays.
