KEY INFORMATION FOR APPLICANTS
Why a scholarship program?
Cumberland Golf Club is one of just 25 facilities across Australia to obtain funding from The Australian Golf Foundation (AGF), in association with Golf Australia. This funding has been made available because of the foresight and generosity of Bonnie Boezeman AO, a director of The Australian Golf Foundation.
While the program’s primary aim is to retain girls in golf by giving girls a shared golf experience, girls new to golf may also be engaged in this program should they demonstrate a commitment to learning the sport.
Who is the scholarship for?
The suggested ages for the program are girls from 10 to 16 years old. There are exceptions allowed for girls from 7 to 10 if they have already displayed exceptional capabilities for their age
What does the program involve?
- A one-year junior club membership that carries playing rights, to ensure girls can participate in club competitions and obtain a handicap
- 24 sessions with the club professional and/or community instructor
- A club shirt and hat with AGF Scholarship identification
What commitments will scholarship holders be required to make?
- Display a desire and willingness to improve their golf skills, obtain a handicap, play in club competitions (or/and social play) and engage in any extra-curricular activities that fosters friendships between scholarship holders.
- As this is the program’s inaugural year, all scholarship holders will be required to complete a pre- and post-program evaluation survey. Scholarship holder contact details will therefore be supplied to Golf Australia upon successful application.
- Whilst we ask girls to strive and make the most out of the program, their commitment to the scholarship program will not, at any point of time take precedence over any education/school commitments.
