Golf for Scholarships

Golf Header

Golf for Scholarships outings are the primary fund-raising activities for the Ohio AgriBusiness Association Educational Trust scholarship program, through which more than $45,000 in scholarship dollars is provided to students enrolled in an agriculture-related field attending The Ohio State University and OSU Agricultural Technical Institute, Clark State Community College, Central State University and Wilmington College.

Each summer the Golf for Scholarships committee plans two golf events: the first event is held in mid-June in northeast Ohio and the second event is held in mid-August in western Ohio. The event is an 18-hole, scramble-style outing, with teams of 4 golfers. Registration is available for individuals and teams. Teams and individuals can win prizes through contest holes and the putting contest. Raffle tickets for prizes and a 50/50 drawing are also available during the event.
