Speedo/United States Synchronized Swimming
Scholarship Name: Speedo Swimmer of the Quarter

The Women’s Western Golf Foundation
Description: There are quite a few scholarships available for women golfers, as foundations and schools alike look to diversify the sport by encouraging young women to get involved. But how many don’t require that you are actually good at it? While the Women’s Western Golf Foundation awards $2,000 per year to qualified golfers seeking post-secondary education, it is much more interested in the interest in golf than it is in your actual skill. Of course, you must be involved in the sport, and you’ll be asked to write an essay detailing your experience. So if you love the sport, and can only get better, you’re the perfect candidate to apply for this golf scholarship.
Award: $2,000
Awards per Year: 1
Award is Open to: High school seniors
