Yates Scholarship Program

Scholarship Sponsored by Georgia State Golf Association

Value: $4,000
Awards Available: 63
Deadline : Mar 01, 2024

The Yates Scholarship Program provides college grants to employees and their dependents at GSGA Member Clubs. Named for Charles, Dan and Danny Yates of Atlanta, all of whom have contributed greatly to the game of golf, the scholarships are based on financial need, character, academic achievement and work experience at a GSGA Member Club.

The Yates Scholarships are eligible for renewal.
