2022 Scholarship Program

The Goal of the Greater Pittsburgh Golf Course Superintendents Associations Scholarship Program is to Support Future Golf Course Superintendents in Their Educational Needs

The Greater Pittsburgh Golf Course Superintendents Association is committed to awarding two thousand dollars annually to this purpose. The Association will award a quantity of two one thousand dollars scholarships annually at its Annual Meeting in October. The Association's check will be awarded directly to the student. If there are no eligible applicants, the Association reserves the right to designate the scholarship funds accordingly.

Scholarships are to be awarded only to full time students (i.e. 12 credit hours per semester). Scholarship applicants must be enrolled in an agricultural major emphasizing turf grass management. Minimum grade point average of 2.0 will be required. Application deadline is November 30th 2022. Marketing of the program is to occur through turf management advisors at universities and the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America.
