GAO Scholarship Program

The GAO provides financial assistance to deserving student golfers throughout Ontario who continue their education at the post-secondary level. Support for the program began with a Trust Fund in 1994 and more recently through the cooperation of the GAO's corporate partners and a variety of successful marketing initiatives.

The GAO also awards annual scholarships to deserving students enrolled in an Ontario Golf Management Program.
