​​ANNUAL GOLF CLASSIC RAISES MORE THAN $28,000 FOR SCHOLARSHIPS

Athens, AL – The Athens State University Alumni Association hosted the 26th Annual Golf Classic scholarship fundraiser on Thursday, May 18, 2017 at Canebrake Club in Athens. The generosity of golfers, donors and volunteers funded scholarships that were awarded to eight (8) students for 2016-2017 ranging from $1,500-$4,000 annually. Proceeds from this year are expected to increase the number of scholarships awarded for 2017-2018 with more than $28,000 in proceeds.

The impact of these scholarships can be seen in the current recipients who were interviewed recently by the Golf Classic Chair, Mark McCarter. Megan stated that her “parents have taken in two foster children, so when this scholarship came, it was a godsend.” Another, Stiliyana, said the scholarship helped her “support herself while sending money home to Bulgaria.” She attends Athens State to take classes at her speed while working 60-plus hours per week at her job.

Prizes were awarded for 1st place Championship Flight- Sanders Woodroof, Tyler Dorning, Stewart Whitt and John Deemer; 1st Place First Flight- Jay Vasser, Steve Turner, David Martin and Barry Devine.

Athens State University was founded in 1822, making it the oldest continuously-operated institute of higher learning in the state of Alabama. Offering over 50 undergraduate majors and degree options in addition to graduate programs, Athens State focuses on providing affordable, flexible, and high-quality options for all learners.
