The GCSAA Scholars Program was developed to recognize outstanding students planning careers in golf and turfgrass management. Seniors graduating prior to the application deadline are ineligible. Marginalized or underrepresented groups are highly encouraged to apply. In addition, students who are citizens of countries other than the United States may apply for the Ambassador Award, a special scholarship for outstanding international students. To be eligible, students must provide documentation of non-US citizenship, meet the eligibility requirements for a GCSAA scholarship, be enrolled in a university in the United States, and rank as one of the top candidates in the GCSAA Scholars Competition. Children of those employed by the GCSAA FoundationÔÇÖs Board of Trustees, the GCSAA Board of Directors, and GCSAA staff are not eligible for this program.
