Troon
has awarded $100,000 in scholarships this year to support diversity within
respective university hospitality, PGA Golf management and turf sciences
programs. Students attending the University of Maryland Eastern Shore’s PGA
Golf Management Program; the University of Nevada, Las Vegas’ College of
Hospitality; the University of Alabama’s College of Hospitality; and Penn State
University’s Turf Sciences College each received $25,000 scholarships over the
last nine months.

“As one of this year’s recipients,
I wanted to express how grateful I am,” said Kassidy Powell, who
received the
Troon Diversity, Equity & Inclusion scholarship at Penn State in October.
“I’m preparing to graduate at the end of the spring semester and receiving this
scholarship will allow me the opportunity to spend next semester not stressed
about money. I hope that the relationship between Troon and Penn State
continues into the future as I believe that it can be extremely beneficial to
other Penn State students.”

The Troon SE&I scholarship
program is committed to providing educational assistance to students from
diverse backgrounds seeking to enter the field of hospitality, including hotel
and restaurant management, professional golf management, and turf sciences. The
program will award a $25,000 scholarship to students at the four universities
enrolled in PGA professional golf management, hospitality management or turf sciences
programs.

“Troon is dedicated to providing
opportunities for individuals to grow their love of the game of golf and the
endless career opportunities within the industry,” DE&I director
Kendall Murphy said. “These scholarships are more than growing the golf
and hospitality industry, they are about providing opportunities to make the
industry more diverse, equitable, and inclusive. That is the future of the
industry, and these scholarships allow us to facilitate that growth moving
forward.”
