Backstretch Scholarship Applications Available Now and Due July 12

Please join us in encouraging our youth to pursue their ambition through higher education by applying for a scholarship from the Illinois Backstretch Charitable Foundation, the benevolent arm of the ITHA.

The scholarship program is an invaluable asset to Illinois thoroughbred racing, having helped hundreds of students — children of backstretch workers or trainers — in northern Illinois head to college.
