Vernon, NY — The Harness Horse Association of Central New York scholarship committee is now taking applications for the Jospeh P. Camerino Memorial Scholarship.

This scholarship was renamed four years ago to honor Joseph Camerino, a longtime director of this association, who was instrumental in setting up the scholarship program.

Applications are available at the association office and must be returned to this office or postmarked by July 1, 2023.

Three scholarships may be awarded in the amounts of $5,000, $2,500 and $1,500 and are exclusively for current members of the HHA of CNY and their immediate families (spouses and children) as well as youngsters who have legal guardians that are members. Grandparents do not qualify.

The intent of the scholarships is specifically for students graduating from accredited High School programs and students in a two or four-year college program. Graduate students are not eligible.
