Scholarship Information

The Iowa Amputee Golf Association started its scholarship program in 1998. The association wanted to find away to give back to younger members of the group that were trying to continue their education at the next level.

Any amputee or immediate family member of an amputee who is a resident of the state of Iowa is eligible for the scholarship. This includes children, grandchildren, and stepchildren of an amputee. The size of the scholarship awarded does vary depending on the number of scholarships the board decides to award for that given year.

Congratulations

Lily is a below elbow amputee from Norwalk, IA. She is a junior at the University of Iowa majoring in speech and hearing sciences. In addition to her studies, Lily enjoys volunteering at the hospital and participating in the annual UI Dance Marathon. Lily is pictured here receiving her scholarship from President Cory Watson
