Currently the Scholarship Fund allocates four $1,500 scholarships to students that achieved excellence in the classroom, present themselves as excellent citizens, have a connection with the game of golf, need financial assistance and are come highly recommended by credible sources. The fund is not dependant upon golfing ability, but rather an award of excellence encouraging the student to continue his or her involvement in school and golf.
