COLLEGE GOLF SCHOLARSHIPS
Golf is a highly intense, strategic game that requires refined skill, consistency, dedication, and drive (pun intended!). To earn college golf scholarships, players need to exhibit exceptional performance on the fairways, greens, and classroom. The same traits that make you a winner on the course - determination, hard work, perseverance - translate into academic achievement, making you a valuable addition to a collegiate program. With American College Placement’s unique boutique services, you can attract college golf recruiting programs’ attention and interest.
Being awarded a college golf scholarship not only allows you to continue honing your skills as an athlete, but it also enables many students from all walks of life to fund a college education. A full scholarship may be valued at as much as $500,000. Understandably, competition is fierce.
