Callaway Golf Foundation Scholarship Program
Application status: Closed

The Callaway Golf Company Foundation is pleased to provide a program to benefit dependents of Company employees. If you are an employee of the Company, a member of your family may be eligible to receive a scholarship to college!

The Callaway Golf Foundation Scholarship Program will provide financial awards to promising students who seek higher education. Both the Company and the Callaway Golf Company Foundation firmly believe in the fundamental importance of education and that it should be accessible to everyone, regardless of his or her background or financial position.

This program is administered by Scholarship America®, the nation’s largest designer and manager of scholarships and other education support programs for corporations, foundations, associations, and individuals. Eligibility for individual programs is determined at the sole discretion of the sponsor, and eligible applications are reviewed by Scholarship America’s evaluation team.

Applications to the Callaway Golf Foundation Scholarship Program will be accepted from students who can answer “yes” to all the following:

  • Am I a dependent of a full-time Company employee (i.e., do I qualify for benefits from Topgolf Callaway Brands Corp.)?
  • Am I a graduating high school senior, a high school graduate or a student already enrolled in an undergraduate college or university program or in a vocational/technical program?
  • Do I plan to enroll in a full-time course of undergraduate study at an accredited two- or four-year college, university or vocational/technical school as of the fall session?
  • Do I plan to attend a school in the United States?

Dependents of Officers are not eligible to apply to the program.

 

What is the award?

Scholarship amounts can range from $3,000 to $10,000, the exact amount to be determined by Scholarship America based on your family’s ability to contribute to your education. Scholarship recipients whose families have no financial need as calculated by Scholarship America or whose parents do not wish to complete the Financial Data section of the application will receive a one-time honorary award of $3,000. All honorarium recipients may reapply each year that they meet eligibility requirements.

Other than the $3,000 honorarium, scholarships are for one (1) year and are renewable for up to three (3) additional years. Your scholarship will be eligible for renewal based on:

  • Satisfactory academic performance based on cumulative GPA
  • Full-time attendance the entire academic year

Payment of Scholarships

Scholarship America processes scholarship payments on behalf of The Callaway Golf Company Foundation. Payments are made in early August.

How are decisions made?

Scholarships are awarded based on merit. Consideration will be given to:

  • academic performance
  • demonstrated leadership abilities and participation in school or community activities
  • work experience
  • a statement of educational and career goals and objectives
  • unusual personal or family circumstances
  • an online recommendation

Selection of recipients is made by Scholarship America. In no instance does any officer or employee of The Callaway Golf Company Foundation play a part in the selection. All applicants agree to accept the decision as final.

When do I find out?

Applicants are notified by early May. Recipients will receive an emailed link to Scholarship America’s online acceptance form. Recipients must complete and submit the form to claim their award. The acceptance form will confirm which school you will attend and include necessary information for issuance of the check.

As part of your application, you must upload the following document:

  • A current, complete transcript of grades. Grade reports are not accepted. Transcripts must display student name, school name, grades and credit hours for each course and term in which each course was taken.

    NOTE: If you are providing SAT or ACT test scores, and those scores are not listed on your high school transcript, you will need to upload an official copy of those test scores separately. If you are uploading a college transcript, those scores are not required.

One online recommendation form must be submitted on your behalf no later than March 6, 2024 3:00 pm CT.

Your application is not considered complete unless all required documents are submitted electronically.
