Founded in 1926, the GCSAA is a professional association for the men and women who manage golf courses in the United States and worldwide. They provide education, information and representation to nearly 18,000 members in more than 72 countries.

The Golf Course Superintendents Association of America's (GCSAA) scholar's competition is now under way. Applicants must be enrolled in a recognized undergraduate program in a major field related to turf management, have completed at least 24 credit hours or the equivalent of one year of full-time study in the appropriate major, and be a member of GCSAA.

Selection criteria for this program includes academic excellence, work experience, extracurricular activities and potential to become a leading professional in the golf course management industry. Scholarships range from $500 to $6,000; the deadline to submit is June 1st.

Last year the GCSAA awarded scholarships to 17 college students as part of the GCSAA Scholars Program. Scholarships were funded and administered by GCSAA's philanthropic organization, The Environmental Institute for Golf (EIG).
