Aloha Coach Aina,
The Aloha Section PGA Scholarship Committee would like to broaden its reach and is asking for your support to forward this opportunity to each league coordinator for golf statewide. It’s our hope they will share it with their coaches and student-athletes who will be graduating this year.
The Aloha Section PGA Foundation Scholarship Program was established in 2007 to encourage and promote the attainment of higher educational goals for high school seniors who have actively participated in the game of golf and have excelled in their academic achievements.
The program is designed to award one-year educational scholarships. The amount of the scholarships will be a maximum of $5,000. Special awards may be granted based on the availability of funds and discretion of the Aloha Section PGA Foundation Scholarship Committee.
