Scholarships

The Cameron Champ Foundation believes education is the key to success for all young people and the most important tool society has for closing the achievement gap for young people of color.

Our scholarships are named after legends who overcame obstacles to make golf more diverse and inclusive. We honor their legacies by investing in young people who are inspired to continue changing the face of the game.

These scholarships are funded with generous donations from our corporate partners and from individual supporters. To make a donation toward any of these scholarships, visit our donation page.
