Establishing these scholarships is symbolic to us. Traditionally, we have been able to focus our efforts in three ways – engaging youth and military communities while striving for inclusion. Our hope is this Scholarship Program becomes a light for new opportunities, hopes, and dreams for students across Alabama and the Florida Panhandle.
2025 Scholarship Opportunities
Junior Golf Alabama / Junior Tour Scholarship
Our Foundation has been a supporter of the Alabama – NW Florida PGA Junior Tour since its inception. Engaging the next generation of golfers will always be paramount to our mission of serving the game. Therefore, we established a scholarship for students who have participated on our Junior Tour and have played in at least one (1) event throughout their Membership from 2010-2022. Participation in Junior Golf Alabama events since it began in 2023 satisfies the Junior Tour requirements.
PGA Professional Family Scholarship
Since the Foundation is directly connected to the PGA Section, this scholarship was designed to give back to the heartbeat of our Section – the PGA Professionals. These men and women are on the front lines of making golf special for thousands across our Section, so we decided to include a scholarship honoring them and their families. This scholarship opportunity will be awarded to any student directly related to a PGA Professional who is a Member of the Alabama – NW Florida Section (family members include sons, daughters, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, etc).
Applications must be received by Friday, May 30, 2025 at 5:00 PM CDT

Established in 2020, the Alabama – NW Florida Golf Foundation Scholarship Program exists to encourage and promote the attainment of higher education for youth who have demonstrated a high level of achievement during high school or college, have financial need, and have shown interest in the game of golf. Ultimately, the Foundation exists to create life-changing opportunities through the game of golf – we believe these scholarships are helping us fulfill this dream.
