    • The scholarship requires paid membership in an organization (with certain exceptions for reputable trade organizations and others)
    • Student are required to sign up for a site or service to apply*

    ** Lead generation scholarships will require students to sign up for an app or website and require minimal (if any) application requirements.
    ***Idea harvesting scholarships will require students to submit blog posts or other materials that companies may use for marketing purposes.

    How to win golf scholarships

    Find local scholarships

    One of the first places to look for athletic scholarships is within your community. If you are currently a part of a sports team with your school or even with an outside club or league, start asking your coaches about any local opportunities for scholarships and if you are interested in playing sports at a collegiate level, you can inquire with your coaches about the college scouting process.

    More on college scouting

    Now is the time to start thinking about whether or not you’d like to pursue playing golf at a collegiate level. It’s important to note that playing sports for a college can be a very large commitment. But one of the main benefits is that depending whether you’re recruited on a D1, D2, or D3 team, you may receive an athletic scholarship for playing for your school, sometimes even a full ride!

    Frequently asked questions about golf scholarships

    Can you get a full scholarship for golf?

     Yes, but this typically means that you have been recruited to play golf for a certain school, and in return you receive a full scholarship (this mostly applies to playing at a D1 level).

    What are the odds of being recruited to play at college?

    Playing at a college level is typically much more competitive than playing at a high school level. Because of this, getting recruited typically requires the student to be athletically excellent at their sport. D1 teams are typically the most difficult to get recruited to, but also come with the most benefits, such as nice facilities to play in, a larger support system, and typically full scholarships.

    What age do recruiters start looking at players?

    Believe it or not, the college recruiting process can start as early as middle school! But typically, the discourse between players and recruiters mostly takes place late sophomore year and throughout their junior year of high school.
