Northfield, OH — David Snyder, president of International Sound Corporation, and Harness Tracks of America, are proud to announce the renewal of the Harold Snyder Memorial Scholarships for the 2019-2020 academic year.

The annual program offers $15,000 in scholarships for post-secondary education to daughters and sons of licensed trainers, drivers, caretakers, management personnel, or young people themselves who are actively engaged in the harness racing industry. Grants ranging from $1,000 to $5,000 are customarily awarded to three to six individuals annually.

Since being inaugurated in 1973 by the late HTA Executive Vice President Stan Bergstein, 223 grants totaling $840,950 have been awarded to 151 college and advanced degree students. The Snyder Family and International Sound, providers of racetrack and sport facility video, graphics and audio services to more than 100 U.S. and international clients, have been the primary benefactors of the fund. Patriarch Harold Snyder, who died at 91 in 2015, started his career as a television repairman, founding ISC with his wife, Marcia. Today, the business is the largest of its kind in the racing industry.
