Supported by the annual Weapons of Grass Destruction Charity Golf Scramble, our scholarship is unique in its accessibility: students of any academic level are encouraged to apply. The scholarship is awarded to "The Most Improved" as defined by the student. Applicants must demonstrate a meaningful effort to improve themselves or their circumstances and embody the character needed to strengthen their communities.

Award funds may be used to pursue higher education at a college or university, attend trade school, complete a certification program, or launch a business that contributes positively to the community.

The $5,000 scholarship is payable over two years. The first installment of $3,000 will be paid out in the first year, and the second installment of $2,000 will be paid out in the second year provided the recipient reapplies for the scholarship and continues to meet the original criteria
