The Vermont Golf Association Scholarship Fund was established in 1963 to provide financial aid to help young Vermont men and women further their education with money donated by Vermont golfers. Since its inception, the VGA Scholarship Fund has dispensed over $1,000,000 to over 400 Vermont scholars.
