Golf Course Owners of Wisconsin Scholarship ParametersPurpose
The purpose of the GCOW Scholarship is to support the education of individuals interested in working in a golf-related industry. A scholarship recipient may seek a degree or pursue studies that are not under the golf industry banner but they must justify in their scholarship application how it will assist them in their career in a golf-related industry.
Amount
Scholarships in the amount of $1,000 each will be awarded. The number of the scholarships annually will be up to the GCOW board of directors. Scholarships are a result of the success of the GCOW Platinum Passport program, so annual numbers of scholarships are dependent on the success of the program.
Scholarships
The GCOW scholarship is a one time scholarship and will be awarded based on the criteria listed. Being awarded a scholarship will not be a factor in receiving a scholarship in subsequent years as each year the scholarships must be re-applied for. A person receiving a scholarship in any given year is encouraged to re-apply in subsequent years.
The GCOW scholarship will be awarded at one of the GCOW Annual Meetings; however the funds will not be dispersed until the recipient has shown proof of completed course work with a passing grade at the conclusion of the semester/year. For example, although a person will be awarded the scholarship in March of a given year for the upcoming fall semester, the actual money will not be dispersed until AFTER the fall semester class has been completed with a passing grade.
Failure to achieve a passing grade and present necessary documentation will result in the forfeiture of scholarship.
Criteria
The GCOW will award $1,000 scholarships based on the following criteria.
