The DeLaveaga Junior Golf Scholarship Fund was originally established in 1988 through the efforts of two outstanding Club members (since deceased.) In their memory, the Fund has been renamed The Eli Bariteau - Bob Schultz Junior Golf Scholarship Fund.

The Fund is supported mainly by contributions by friends and Club members. A portion of the Fund is dedicated for use by Cabrillo College applicants with the remainder to be used by Santa Cruz County applicants who are attending other colleges. The Fund seeks to be perpetually endowed so that only the income is available for grants.

Currently, we are sponsoring GARY YORO (formerly from Cabrillo and currently at Stanislaus State) and ADAM CHO who is playing golf at Cabrillo.

The Scholarship Fund is an easy way for you to contribute something back to the community. Please think of the Fund when you complete your renewal for the upcoming year. With your support, we hope to be able to help more students in the future. We are always accepting Scholarship applications, and are interested in hearing from any other students who are truly in need of financial assistance. We are now accepting applications for future funding. Applicants must be golfers from Santa Cruz County and must be enrolled in a two or four year college program.

In May, 2008 the Club also made a donation of $1000 to the Santa Cruz County Junior Golf Association (SCCJGA). Their all-volunteer staff is dedicated to providing Junior golfers, from 8 to 18 of all skill levels, the opportunity to play golf and to learn the rules and etiquette of the game. The money will supplement tournament green fees, tournament prizes, rulebooks, golf clinics, teaching programs and scholarships for beginning lessons. Their website is sccjga.com.

Please contact me at (831) 423-1500 with any further questions -- or with offers of assistance.
