Scholarships may be awarded to students who are outstanding in the sports field management industry. As part of the program, SAFE awards named scholarships to top students in each category: the Dr. James Watson Graduate Scholarship, the Dr. James Watson Undergraduate Scholarship, the Dr. James Watson Two-year Scholarship, and the Dr. Fred Grau Scholarship. The Watson Scholarships are named in honor of long-time green industry researcher and consultant Dr. James Watson, are funded by the Toro Giving Program, and are presented to the top graduate and undergraduate scholarship recipients. The top recipient from a two-year program receives the Dr. Fred Grau scholarship, which is named in honor of the first turfgrass extension specialist in the United States. There is not a separate application for these named scholarships; they are awarded to the top graduate and undergraduate applicants. Applicants must be enrolled in at least 6 credit hours in a two-year, four-year, or graduate program in a major/field related to sports field management in the upcoming academic year. Applicants must be an SFMA member. Applicants must have at least one semester of study left. Previous undergraduate recipients (2-year and 4-year categories) are not eligible to reapply for SAFE Scholarships while still an undergraduate. Graduate recipients may resubmit a unique application each year. Applicants must be planning a career in the sports field management industry, either in the field or in research.
