While it all starts with giving our members access to golf for $5 or less at more than 600 participating courses throughout the country, it doesn’t end there. Youth on Course pro-vides access to summer job opportunities through our Caddie Academy and high school internship programs as well as access to higher education through college scholarships.

The Youth on Course scholarship program began in 2008 with a single award recipient receiving $5,000. To date, Youth on Course has awarded a total of $1,227,550 to 204 stu-dents.

High school seniors with a minimum GPA of 3.0, who will be attending a four-year col-lege or university are eligible to apply. Finalists undergo an interview process with Youth on Course staff and board members, and award recipients are chosen on both need and merit.

There are many ways to allocate donations to Youth on Course. One way is through a named scholarship. For an investment of no less than $1,000 per year for four years, you can provide one of our participants the greatest gift of all - the opportunity to achieve his or her goals at a college of their choosing. Your scholarship fund will follow the scholar-ship recipient all four years of his or her collegiate career.

Youth on Course is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit. Gifts are tax-deductible within the guidelines of the law.
