The Scholars Program
More than 20 colleges and universities offer partial merit-based or leadership scholarships to participants who excel in academics, leadership, character development, and Chapter and community involvement. The monetary value of each leadership scholarship varies by school. Each participant meeting specific eligibility requirements is encouraged to apply for the designation of The First Tee Scholar. A student designated as a Scholar will be eligible to participate in any educational scholarship programs made available by The First Tee and/or one of its partner institutions. The First Tee Scholarship Advisory Committee (SAC) convenes each December to review applications and to designate the Scholars. The SAC also will select the recipients of the named and general scholarships.
