30th Annual Invitational Golf Tournament For Scholarships

Golfers had a chance to hit the green and raise money for scholarships at the Beaufort County Community College Foundation’s 30th Annual Invitational Golf Tournament for Scholarships. The tournament took place on Friday, May 3, 2024 at Cypress Landing Golf Club.

The annual tournament is one of the largest annual fundraising events for the foundation. It raises funds for scholarships to help eligible students with the cost of tuition and books, as well as emergency grants.

The tournament is a four-person super ball format with teams pre-flighted based on each golfer’s handicap. The entry fee of $85 per player includes lunch, cart rental and greens fee. Championship, First Flight, and Women's prizes are awarded by 18-hole score in each of three flights. Four prize packages for “closest to the pin” shots are also awarded.

“Over the last few years, we’ve seen our donations increase, as well as the number of donations,” Sullivan pointed out. “The community is really seeing the impact we are making on local lives and industry.”

Sometimes all that stops a student from attending is the cost of a few textbooks. Our scholarships not only help students get in the door, but help them get out faster and with better grades. A scholarship might mean that a student can focus on classes instead of working multiple part-time jobs, and it can mean that they can go from one semester to the next without taking a semester off to work. Our scholarship recipients are driven and excited about their education. We make sure that they maintain their momentum toward their goals.
