For more than three decades, the Golf Ontario Scholarship Program has championed the dreams of student golfers across the province. What began in 1994 as a commitment to easing the financial pressures of post-secondary education has grown into a tradition of celebrating well-rounded student-athletes who excel in both academics and athletics. The program has created opportunities for hundreds of student golfers, thanks to the generosity of corporate partners and sponsors who share a commitment to advancing both education and the game of golf.
Through the generosity of its donors, Golf Ontario proudly awards scholarships named in honour of remarkable Ontarians: Ken McKenzie, Christine Fisher, Craig Revell, Helena Harbridge, Dave Mills, and Bill Bath, whose legacies continue to inspire the next generation of golfers. Supported by partners like Baka Communications, a steadfast advocate for amateur golf in Ontario, these scholarships recognize student-athletes who excel in academics, demonstrate a passion for the game, and pursue their goals with dedication and excellence. Each scholarship tells a story of commitment, passion, and the enduring impact of those who helped shape golf in Ontario.
Congratulations to all the 2025 scholarship recipients!
