Kentucky Equine Research (KER) has established a graduate student fellowship at the University of Kentucky College of Agriculture to honor the memory of Larry Lawrence, PhD, who was a valued KER employee for many years.

The Lawrence Fellowship, worth more than $25,000 per year, will fund a graduate student in a study program related to applied equine sciences.

The first fellowship recipient is Catherine Whitehouse, a former KER intern who earned an equine science degree from Lincoln University in England, where she prepared a dissertation on seasonal changes in nonstructural carbohydrate accumulation in pasture grasses as related to the etiology of laminitis.

“KER looks forward to supporting the University of Kentucky’s goal of improving the health and well-being of horses through the education of graduate students at the UK College of Agriculture,” said Joe Pagan, PhD, founder and president of KER
