Golfers in New South Wales are set to benefit thanks to the PGA International Golf Institute (PGA IGI), in association with Golf NSW and Jack Newton Junior Golf (JNJG), announcing two scholarship opportunities for 2016 at the PGA IGI Sydney Campus.
Applications are now open for the Golf NSW Scholarship and JNJG Internship Scholarship, which integrate golf training and development with academic studies delivered through the PGA IGI – Australia’s only Diploma of Golf Management provider.
Exclusive to golfers in NSW, both scholarships will be given out annually to male and females who have a passion for a career in the golf industry, either on course or behind the scenes.
The lucky recipients will undertake the Diploma of Golf Management through the PGA IGI at their Sydney Campus, based at the International College of Management in Sydney. Upon successful completion, articulation opportunities into bachelor degree courses and additional study through the PGA of Australia, which can lead to Full Vocational Membership of the PGA, also exist.
The Golf NSW scholarship is available to golfers aged 18 to 25 who reside in NSW and hold membership at golf club in NSW. This fee waiver scholarship provides the recipient with golf training and development, along with academic study through the PGA IGI.
The JNJG Scholarship is open to year 12 school leavers (either 18 years of age or who are turning 18 during their first year of study), who have participated in JNJG programs and events as a junior golfer in NSW. The scholarship includes an internship with JNJG, working one to two days a week within the organisation and its partners gaining valuable work experience within the golf industry.
