Applicants must submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Recipients are chosen based on academic achievement, character, financial need and involvement in golf. Skill level in the sport is not a consideration. Scholarship winners receive $2,000 yearly, which may be renewed annually if the student maintains a 3.0 grade-point average and continues to have financial need.
