Description

The Walter J. Travis Memorial Scholarships have been awarded annually since 2009, to honor the remarkable accomplishments and contributions of Walter J. Travis in the game of golf. The Travis Society's Scholarships are awarded to students pursuing a career in one of the following professions: landscape design/golf course architecture; golf course turf grass management/golf course superintendent; professional golf management, club professional, or sports journalism with a special interest in golf. Serious consideration will be given to outstanding amateur high school, college, or university golfers for our scholarship awards, based on their competitive record as an amateur golfer, and criteria listed below (with exception of career goals). Amateur golfer applicants do not need to be pursuing a career in a golf related industry. Applicants for The Walter J. Travis Memorial Scholarship must present evidence of being enrolled or matriculated as an undergraduate or graduate student at an accredited college or university, for the following Fall semester. Three current and Travis Scholarship-specific letters of recommendation must be submitted. One of the scholarships is awarded in honor of Rudy Zocchi, a long-time Travis Society member who devoted much of the last years of his life to researching Walter J. Travis.
