Launched in 1997 as a partnership between golf organizations including the PGA TOUR and LPGA, First Tee facilitates programming on the golf course and in physical education classes for youth throughout the US. In addition to its core programming, it helps students achieve their academic goals via the First Tee College Scholarship Program. Through this program, First Tee alumni can receive up to $5,000 per year for a four-year period to help cover the cost of their college tuition.

In addition to receiving education funding, selected scholarship recipients can attend professional development workshops and gain access to potential employment and internship opportunities with First Tee partners, including TruGreen. Scholars are also paired with an adult mentor who will offer guidance and encouragement throughout their four years in college.

Those selected to the Scholars Class of 2020 were surprised with the news in a virtual session that included a congratulatory message from President George W. Bush. Applications for the program for 2021, meanwhile, open January 11.
