VIRGINIA GOLF FOUNDATION SCHOLARSHIPS ARE NOW ONLINE

MIDLOTHIAN –– High school and aspiring Virginia college students, the Virginia Golf Foundation is again going to be awarding merit and need-based scholarships as well as turfgrass study awards.  The scholarships are awarded annually to Virginia high school students who have an interest in golf and wish to attend colleges and universities within the commonwealth.

The Virginia Golf Foundation Scholarship program, administered by the VSGA, funds scholarships, primarily through its VIP program, to worthy Virginia high school students who are interested in golf and wish to attend Virginia colleges and universities.  The awards are conditional on students’ good progress in academics. Criteria for the awards are an active interest in golf, academic achievement, citizenship, character and financial need.

Applications may be obtained by contacting Peggy Reilly at the VSGA office at (804) 378-2300, ext. 11.  The deadline for applications is March 1, 2004.

Since being launched in 1985 with three awards for $4,000, the program has given out $1,096,362 in 19 years. With 28 scholarships in 2003, the total number of recipients has reached 444 worthy students.

The 2004 grants include the fourth C. Dan Keffer Award to a worthy student in honor of C. Dan Keffer, the former VSGA Scholarship committee chairman and Virginia Golf Foundation president.  In addition, the VSGA Women’s Division Spencer-Wilkinson Award will be given for a tenth time this year. The fund, formed by Debbie Spencer and Mary Wilkinson, affords young women with a special interest in golf to pursue college and career development. Along with the David A. King Merit Award, the VSGA Women’s Division merit award will be given.
