Burlington, NJ — Harness Horsemen International reminds interested persons that the deadline is fast approaching to apply for the 22nd annual Jerome L. Hauck Scholarship.

The award, in the amount of $4,000, will be granted to a worthy recipient who is the son or daughter of a full-time Standardbred groom or the son or daughter of a member of an HHI affiliated association.

To be considered, a student must demonstrate exceptional scholarship, citizenship and leadership. Candidates must have completed high school or its equivalent and are entering college for the first time. Financial need is also a major factor in determining the award recipient.

The deadline to apply is June 1, 2010. Students wishing to apply should contact the HHI office or their local horsemen’s association for an application and additional information.
