Are there any Scholarships available to KEMI interns?

There are two scholarships available to currently enrolled KEMI interns:
  • The Michelle Fuerniss Scholarship is awarded biannually to students currently enrolled in the KEMI program. Friends of the Fuerniss family have established this perpetual scholarship fund to recognize outstanding KEMI interns. The scholarship will be awarded in the form of a tuition waiver for a future session of the KEMI program or a cash award, at the conclusion of each session of the KEMI program.
  • The Kentucky Thoroughbred Farm Managers' Club (KTFMC) Management Award is awarded to a deserving KEMI intern in each internship session (Spring & Fall) and consists of a cash prize and a week-long opportunity for the intern to explore/shadow professionals in their chosen career path (subject to availability) in order to interview, network and explore jobs available. This week-long opportunity will be completed at the conclusion of the KEMI internship period.
