USGTF Announces
College Scholarship Program

When it comes to education, the USGTF has been at the forefront in providing the best teacher training in the industry.

America’s college, universities, and trade schools also play a main role in the lives and futures of millions of young people, but such education is costly. Fortunately, there are many sources of financial aid to help these young people. Thanks to the generosity of grant, loan, and scholarship programs, tomorrow’s leaders enjoy the opportunity to pursue their educations in an affordable manner.

Because education is also the core of our mission, we at the USGTF would like to recognize a worthy candidate who is pursuing higher education. We are pleased to announce the creation of the USGTF Scholarship Program. One $1,500 scholarship will be awarded annually on a non-renewable basis to the son or daughter of a USGTF member in good standing. Criteria for scholarship eligibility is as follows:

• USGTF member in good standing must be legal guardian of scholarship applicant
• A letter of acceptance or proof of enrollment from a two or four-year accredited college, university or technical school
• A letter of recommendation from a non-family member
• High school or college transcripts must be included
• One-page, single-spaced, typewritten essay on the topic, “The Lessons Golf Teaches You”

The successful applicant will be chosen based upon the above criteria by members of the USGTF national office, whose decision shall be final. All materials must reach the USGTF national office via US Postal Service or courier by 5PM; July 18th, 2010. Email, fax, and phone applications will not be accepted. The successful applicant will be notified by August 15th, 2010, and will receive a check made co-payable to the applicant and the school. We are proud to be able to c ontribute to the education of one of our USGTF family members, and wish good luck to all applicants.
