Post Secondary Education Scholarships
The Harrison Taylor Post – Secondary Scholarship
We are pleased to have named our general need-based scholarships in honor of Harrison Taylor; a long time First Tee participant killed in a tragic accident.
The Lin Bradley Scholarship
Mr. Bradley is a long-time First Tee coach and Board Member who stepped down from active participation following two terms as Chairman of the Board. He continues as a special advisor to First Tee – Coastal Carolinas. This scholarship was created to honor his role as a mentor and leader in the First Tee Community.
The Jacob B. Elliott Scholarship
Jacob Elliott initially came to Myrtle Beach in January 2009. In February 2019, Jacob tragically lost his life in a house fire and is missed every day. This scholarship will enable Jacob’s strong work ethic, goodwill, and love to live on – within Coastal Carolinas and for its people that he loved and cared so much about. It is the family’s pleasure to have designated this scholarship to support local First Tee Coastal Carolinas youth.
Your donation will assist with a child’s expense to travel, lodging, meals and other needs at local and national opportunities. These opportunities can include attending local golf tournaments, local and national leadership academies and national golf tournaments.
$100 sends one child to a one-week summer program session or one child to an eight- week after school program where participants learn golf skills as well as the First Tee Commitment to Being a Game Changer and golf’s life-enhancing values.
