Northern Texas PGA Foundation Awards $731,500 in Scholarships

The Northern Texas PGA (NTPGA) Foundation is pleased to continue its charitable commitment to higher education by announcing our 2024 scholarship recipients. A record 87 high school seniors who will be attending college this fall have earned scholarships totaling $731,500 – the most ever awarded in a single year by the NTPGA Foundation.

This year, the NTPGA Foundation celebrates our newest recipients and the fact that since our scholarship program began, we have now awarded over five million dollars in scholarships!

The 2024 scholarship amounts vary from $2,500 to $20,000. In addition, two students were awarded a “last-dollar” full scholarship to two of the Foundation’s partner schools, the University of North Texas at Dallas (UNTD) and the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA).

Since 1983, the Northern Texas PGA Foundation has awarded $5.73 million in college scholarships to 841 deserving students.

“I am thrilled and more so appreciative to surpass $5,000,000 in scholarships awarded this year. It is a lot of money and every dollar is for students pursuing higher education,” said Mark Harrison, Chief Executive Officer of the Northern Texas PGA. “We would not be able to continue and grow this program without the support of everyone who believes in our Foundation and our commitment to students’ higher education. Thank you to our supporters, and congratulations to the 87 students who received a scholarship this year. I know they all have a bright future ahead.”

This year, of the scholarships awarded, 62% were based on financial need, academic performance, extracurricular activities and community involvement, while 38% were awarded based on academic performance, extracurricular activities and community involvement.
