$60,000 in Post-Secondary Scholarships Awarded to Sixty-Two Deserving Albertans
For twenty-five years, the Alberta Golf Association Foundation (AGAF) has provided financial assistance to students throughout the province in support of their academic endeavors.
Since the Foundation’s inception in 1994, more than 500 scholarships totaling over $700,000 have been awarded to students.
The AGAF was pleased to receive a high number of scholarship applications this year. Candidates are selected based on financial need, academic standing, as well as volunteer work and references.
A special thanks are extended to all of the patrons who support the scholarship program on an annual basis and to the volunteers who assist with the casino fundraiser. This support enables us to maintain our strong scholarship program.
