Established in memory of Caird Forest Wilson, a horse lover and supporter of equestrian events in Ontario, the Caird F. Wilson Graduate Scholarship consists of $16,800 payable over nine semesters. The recipient is chosen based on academic performance and proposed research projects, and is available to students registered in a graduate program pursuing research in equine performance at the Ontario Veterinary College, University of Guelph. This year’s recipient is Olivia Lee; the scholarship will support her research into stem cell therapy and osteoarthritis (OA) in equines.
