VSGA Scholarship Day

New name , same purpose by CHRIS LANG

On May 22 at Richmond Country Club , the VSGA-VIP Scholarship Foundation hosted VSGA Scholarship Day , a newly minted title for a day that retained its stated purpose — allocating funds to worthy highschool seniors with an interest in golf as they pursue their long-term academic goals at colleges and universities .

The tweak of the name — adding one word to the traditional VSGA Day name — was subtle but important . The VSGA- VIP Scholarship Foundation is a separate nonprofit entity that operates under the overall VSGA umbrella , and the addition of the word scholarship ensures that the goal of the day is properly conveyed .
Funding for the VSGA-VIP Scholarship Foundation awards are generated primarily through the sale of the VSGA VIP Golf Card . The Foundation provides grants and gifts for scholarships , scientific and educational research , and other charitable purposes .
