How scholarships shape the game

Scholarships have been a part of the EIFG’s focus since 1955 when the organization was first founded as the GCSAA Scholarship and Research Fund.

Scholarships funded by the EIFG provide financial assistance to students who are pursuing a career in golf course management, future researchers and educators, as well as children and grandchildren of GCSAA members. In 2013, the EIFG funded 70 scholarships and grants.
