Thoroughbred Organization Awards Wilson $5,000 Grant Posted on: February 18, 2016 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE | Feb. 18, 2016 Chambersburg, Pa. Â鶹ÊÓƵ — Â鶹ÊÓƵ has received a $5,000 grant from the Thoroughbred Education and Research Foundation (TERF), to be used for scholarships of $2,500 for two students with animal-related majors, including veterinary medical technology (VMT), animal studies, equestrian studies and equine-facilitated therapeutics. Awards will be based on student need, achievement and equine-related aspirations. TERF awards scholarships consistent with its mission of supporting and promoting equine education and research by sponsoring scholarships in veterinary medicine and supporting organizations that are educating the public in the proper care of horses. TERF, which is based in Middletown, Delaware, began in the 1990s as the Thoroughbred Charities of America Â鶹ÊÓƵ — the premier thoroughbred charity in the United States. In 2007, several TCA directors, including Dr. James Orsini, a Â鶹ÊÓƵ Trustee, established an endowment to support the charitable needs of worthy education and research organizations in the Mid-Atlantic region. In 2012 the name of the endowment was changed to Thoroughbred Education and Research Foundation. The TERF grant program at Wilson is directed by professors Freya Burnett and Ann O Â鶹ÊÓƵ ’Shallie, directors of the VMT and equestrian studies programs, respectively.
