The Canadian Thoroughbred Horse Society is proud to announce that Amanda Marsella of Pickering, Ontario, has been selected as the winner of this year’s Gillian Luxton MD Scholarship.
A second year student at the Ontario Veterinary College at the University of Guelph in Ontario, Ms. Marsella has earned a $5,000 scholarship towards her Veterinary Medicine degree. With a focus on veterinary research and support for Thoroughbreds, her hope is to be able to provide Canadian Thoroughbreds and their owners with better sports medicine and rehabilitation care.
“This year, the selection process proved to be extremely difficult, as all seven applicants were an exceptional group,” said Julie Coulter, General Manager of the Ontario CTHS. “However, Amanda’s high academic achievements stood out from the rest. We would like to congratulate Amanda on her excellent standing and wish her continued academic and personal success.”
Each year, the CTHS assists students on their road to success by providing a $5,000 college or university scholarship to further their educational opportunities. Qualifications are based on academic ability and participation in academic training programs related to the horse or horse racing industry.
The CTHS would like to thank all the students who applied for the scholarship and wish them best of luck with their studies and in their future careers.
