Scholarships

Alberta Golf is focused on supporting individuals interested in some aspect of golf on their path to pursue a post secondary education. Each year the Alberta Golf Association Foundation awards upwards of 25 scholarships and a total of $50,000 to deserving applicants. These scholarships are awarded due to the contributions of past competitors, supporters of the game and a casino fundraising initiative.

2010 Scholarship Recipients

The Alberta Golf Association Foundation was pleased to receive a very high number of scholarship applications this year. Special thanks are extended to all of the patrons who support the scholarship program on an annual basis and to the volunteers who assisted us with our first Casino Fundraiser for the foundation. This enabled us to improve our scholarship program and increase our awards on a yearly basis. Supporters of the game of golf are invited to contact the Alberta Golf Association Foundation for more information on how to establish a legacy of their own. Below is a listing of this year’s award winners and their scholarship bursaries. Candidates are selected based on financial need, academic standing, as well as volunteer work and references.
