Youth on Course – the non-profit organization dedicated to opening doors, supporting dreams and transforming the lives of young people – has announced its 2021 scholarship awards granting $296,000 to 20 deserving high school graduates, continuing its commitment to providing youth with access to life-changing opportunities on and off the course.

Since the inception of the scholarship program in 2008, nearly 300 Youth on Course members have been awarded with financial support totaling $2 million. The graduation rate among all alumni and current recipients is 93 percent.

The class of 2021 will be attending the country’s most prestigious universities including Dartmouth College, University of California – Berkeley and the United States Naval Academy, among others. The average GPA of this year’s winners is 4.39 and six of the recipients will be playing college golf with five others possibly joining their collegiate team.

“Pursuing higher education, much like the game of golf, shouldn’t hinge on the financial burdens it places on young people,” says Michael Lowe, vice president of programs for Youth on Course. “These 20 students are among the brightest in the country and we, along with our scholarship donors, are proud to help them continue to work towards their dreams on and off the golf course.”

Committed to making the game more appealing, inclusive and accessible to nurture the next generation of lifelong players and lovers of the game, Youth on Course gives its members opportunities to grow on and off the course. Offering subsidized rounds of golf, members can play at more than 1,400 courses across the country for $5 or less across North America.

Off the course, Youth on Course puts their members’ lives on a different trajectory by providing off-course growth and learning experiences including paid internships, its scholarship program and caddying opportunities. Juniors nationwide ages 6-18 may sign up for a Youth on Course membership at[ www.youthoncourse.org/join](https://u7061146.ct.sendgrid.net/ls/click?upn=TeZUXWpUv-2B6TCY38pVLo9oPK5zn5pvL82jaWWVkkiiSW77OerM-2F-2FOpdypz0xg-2F9DNY45_S-2FlcltvsbIc3F5cFCkXNooXTWHNS0xpbmOBAbyGz3WxC92CQ7Z99B1aHkGKZgt8qtvwhlRrmcExqhMtwcWDarxs7kK-2B4AOpnIlQlh8PlBS1aZv-2Fx39LbxGH6-2FjqaJ0vbyyAtTXHdbnMzNXNgHpIrETPKBhyR-2FyZhw0GeorkL5GeLZ5UqivL1IW9BJ08ZEHQ4P5Z1Nk9Dx48DJcXK4kTSzmKQWK0CkSMofdmdpF6SOpykzEdhqFfI76-2F1Qk6bpWygN5Xu1JyGvC-2F6dMiVcC3thU1V0k1LsHoZiqkm8ho-2Bd0cj6LfaCHaPNhja2l2nRkYBVArHenBFnaZ5tZewb6gsvJDhdGtR-2B9jSITgdJAIe294-3D).
