VINTON, LA–JULY 18, 2023–The Louisiana Quarter Horse Breeders Association (LQHBA) awarded four $2,000 scholarships to further the education of Louisiana students on Saturday, July 15 at Delta Downs.

The exciting night of the 2023 Quarter Horse racing season featured nine quality stakes, culminating with a victory by One Sweet Sugar in the $624,792 Lee Berwick Futurity (RG1).

Bruce Salard, LQHBA executive director and LQHBA board members conducted the drawings enabling the following students to further their education. Winners of $2,000 scholarships were Ateya Griffin, Jackson St. Romain, Samuel Jackson and Makala Tagalog.

While the primary goal of the LQHBA is breeding and racing in Louisiana, the association remains committed to supporting education for Louisiana students. Since its inception in 2001, the LQHBA scholarship program has provided over $800,000 for students who wish to attend a higher education institution.

The next opportunity for students will take place at Evangeline Downs in December. For more information on the LQHBA Scholarship Program and eligibility requirements, visit LQHBA.com
