Golf Canada Foundation Scholarships

Golf Canada Foundation encourages the athletic and academic careers of promising Canadian golfers and students of the industry by offering financial assistance through scholarships and awards.

The Golf Canada Foundation scholarship program is funded through generous donations from corporations, golf clubs, associations and individual friends of golf. Golf Canada, the Canadian Seniors’ Golf Association and the Scholarships and Grants Selection Committee play important roles in contributing to our scholarship fund each year. Golf Canada Foundation strives to build additional scholarship funds and grants to help Canadians use the great game of golf to achieve their potential.

1. Each scholarship is for one (1) year only. Renewals are not automatic, and an application must be submitted each year.
2. All scholarship applicants must be attending, or have been accepted at, a Canadian university or college with a golf program recognized by Golf Canada Foundation (see Page 5). The only exceptions are the Jim Fraser, Connor/Spafford, Mary Ellen Driscoll and the Suzanne Beauregard scholarships that will accept applicants from other institutions. The William Kucey Scholarship also places further limitations on academic institutions
   attended.
