Scholarships

The future of the industry lies in the hand of the next generation who carry the torch for the promotion and support of the equine industry as they continue to lead and grow. The Minnesota Horse Council has actively supported the equine related pursuits of individuals for 20 years through the Tony Gasser Memorial Scholarships.

​

Tony Gasser was a well-known Minnesota Horseman and active in the Minnesota Horse Council. In his will he left money to start a scholarship fund to offer scholarships to students in equine-related fields. This was the beginning of the MHC/Tony Gasser Memorial Scholarships, back in 1984.  ​In 1991, the Minnesota Horse Council determined that 5% of the total annual profits from the Minnesota Horse Expo should be dedicated to increasing these funds and increasing their investment of the horsemen of the next generation.

 

In recent years, about 20% of the profits from the Minnesota Horse Expo have been given by the Minnesota Horse Council to deserving students in the form of academic scholarships. The Minnesota Horse Council offers this investment in the next generation through the yearly scholarship opportunities. Please see the scholarship application details in the document below.
