The Women's Southern Golf Association has
established a scholarship fund to assist deserving female golfers residing
in the 15 southern states and the District of Columbia to obtain four years
of higher education. The WSGA Scholarship was first awarded in 1971 to
Hollis Stacy to assist in going to the USGA Junior Championship. In 1973,
the first actual scholarship award was to Martha Jones of Decatur, Alabama
This year a scholarship of $3,000 will be
available along with a commitment of $3,000 for each of the three succeeding
years of undergraduate school, not to exceed a total of four years. Renewal
of the scholarship will be subject to an annual review of the recipient's
performance, interest and need. The recipient must maintain a 3.0
grade average out of 4.0. This is
not an athletic scholarship, rather it is an academic scholarship awarded to
a golfer. Current awards are to four girls annually (one added each year as
one graduates).
The scholarship program will be administered by
the members of the WSGA Scholarship Committee. The amount of the scholarship
will be paid directly to the accredited college of the applicant's choice,
one-half to be paid at the beginning of the first semester and the remainder
to be paid upon notice that the applicant has met the minimum required grade
point average and has been accepted for the next semester. The decision of
the Scholarship Committee will be based on the submitted data and personal
interview.
