FGSA Scholarship

Award Per Student: $3,000.00 Application Deadline: Saturday June 1st 2021 Website: Scholarships/38 FSGA Scholars is a scholarship program made possible by the Florida State Golf Association and our Future of Golf Foundation. In the Spring each year, the FSGA selects a minimum of five golfers from the FJT's graduating class to be awarded a renewable four-year scholarship. A total of $10,000 in college scholarships will be awarded each year, resulting in $40,000 granted to each graduating class. Each scholarship is awarded on a two-semester term (fall & spring). Payment of the scholarship is made in two installments to the college or university the student is attending. The first payment is made during the fall semester, and the second payment is made during the spring semester. The Scholarship Committee reviews each renewal every year. A GPA of 3.0 or higher, a brief letter detailing the recent school year and additional information are used in the renewal determination process. The brief letter (or email) should focus on two points; what was the best part of the previous school year, and what was the worst part and what did you learn.
