Fairway To Success is helping to impact and change the lives of young people in our community.  The program is conducted at four DISD high schools and includes introducing students to golf and the life lessons of discipline, honor and integrity that are central to the game. In partnership with Deloitte, and through the assistance of our PGA Professionals, hundreds of high school students participate in a weekly after-school golf program each semester as well as a field trip to a local golf course for on-course play and experiences in golf operations. Upon completion of the program, students are eligible to apply for multiple scholarships funded by Deloitte and the Northern Texas PGA Foundation that range from $5,000 to $20,000.

The Northern Texas PGA Foundation and Deloitte annually select deserving students from four DISD schools to receive a $20,000 college scholarship and mentorship throughout college and beyond. These scholarships are based on academic performance, extracurricular activities, community involvement and financial need. Throughout the program's history, over $2,500,000 in scholarships has been awarded to 96 recipients. 

In 2024, we awarded scholarships valued between $5,000 and $15,000 to 11 additional finalists not selected for a $20,000 scholarship. This additional funding would not have been available without the generosity of donors who believe in the value of an education and support our college scholarship pillar.  In 2024, Fairway To Success awarded a total of $441,000 in scholarships.

After teaching the game of golf and providing scholarships to further their education, the Northern Texas PGA Foundation and Deloitte continue serving past Fairway To Success scholarship recipients by providing the opportunity to intern at our organizations. The internship provides additional experiences to further our recipients’ ability to achieve employment in golf, client services, or another industry altogether.
