Applications Open for TOCA College Scholarship

By Staff

Applications are now available for the TOCA scholarship program to be awarded in early 2017. The scholarship is awarded for the 2017-2018 school year.

The 2016 scholarship of $2,500 was awarded to Mara McGurl of the University of Georgia. She also attended the annual meeting in Omaha. TOCA annually awards one, $2,500 scholarship with an additional travel stipend to attend the annual meeting.

“The committee (Cindy Code, Steve Trusty and Felicia Gillham) annually does a great job,” says Den Gardner, executive director. “The caliber of the students each year makes the decision tougher and tougher. We are thrilled to provide this monetary gift to a worthy student each year.”

TOCA staff reaches out to ACT college chapters for applications, as well as all two-and four-year schools that offer turf management programs.

Thanks to Golf Course Management, Total Landscape Care, GIE Media, Grand View Media, North Coast Media, TurfNet and EPG/Media & Specialty Information for supporting this program.
