Each Rocky Mountain Section PGA Foundation Scholarship Award winner will receive $2,000 to assist with expenses related to his or her college education for the 2025-2026 academic year.
The Rocky Mountain Section PGA Foundation’s Scholarship Award is awarded annually to college-bound high school seniors based on academic achievement, community and extracurricular activity, leadership, financial need and involvement and contribution to the game of golf. Participants in the Snake River Chapter Larry Malone Scholarship Pro-Am and the Laurel (Montana) Golf Club, Riverside Country Club (Bozeman, Montana) and Yellowstone Country Club (Billings, Montana) Pro-Ams contribute to the scholarship fund of the Foundation. Additional support was provided by businesses as well as individual contributors and donors. The Scholarship Program has now awarded over $445,000 to deserving youth over the past 51 years.
“We continue to be humbled by those who make possible the funding efforts of the RMSPGA Foundation. The support of the Foundation’s event participants and the individual and business donors make everything we do possible,” states Vaughn Jenkins, PGA, executive director, Rocky Mountain Section PGA. “We wish this year’s scholarship recipients all the best with their matriculation,” adds Jenkins.
The Rocky Mountain Section held their PGA Jr. League Section Championship on Friday, August 8, 2025. In the 17U division, the All Stars from Canyon Springs Golf Course 17U1 in Twin Falls, Idaho, coached by PGA Professional Zach Abels, earned the right to move on to the regional competition in Utah, in early September.
