This year, The GCSAA Scholars Competition awarded scholarships to six Penn State Turf students.

The GCSAA Scholars Competition is funded primarily by the Robert Trent Jones Endowment and is administered by the Environmental Institute for Golf, GCSAA’s philanthropic organization. Scholars Competition scholarships range from $500 to $6,000.

Daniel Allison, who hails from Greenville, PA, received the MacCurrach Award.

The PGA Tour funds the MacCurrach Award. Along with his scholarships, Allison will receive an all-expenses-paid trip to the 2020 Golf Industry Show, Jan. 25-30 in Orlando.
