VSGA-VIP Scholarship Foundation
“For the future of golf in Virginia.”
In order to ensure that promising young individuals who love the game have the support instrumental to their future successes, the VSGA helps young people take their first steps toward college through the VSGA-VIP Scholarship Foundation.
From awarding three scholarships worth $4,000 during its inception, the VSGA-VIP Scholarship Foundation has now surpassed the $1.6 million level and has made a difference in the lives and careers of more than 700 students staying in Virginia to attend college.
Each year, the VSGA-VIP Scholarship Foundation assists young men and women in advancing their education; funding of the scholarships comes primarily through the sale of the VSGA VIP Card. The requirements are that applicants have an interest in golf (ability not important), reside in Virginia and plan to attend a Virginia college or university.
The VSGA-VIP Scholarship Foundation also offers special scholarships for students who want to pursue study in the science of turfgrass management, so vital to the establishment, maintenance and playability of golf courses. The VSGA Women’s Division also awards its own special scholarships to graduating high school seniors.
In addition, the VSGA-VIP Scholarship Foundation receives funding from the tax-deductible gifts of generous individuals and corporations.
