The National Golf Scholarship Association (a 501c3 nonprofit corporation) and Top50 Junior Tour are true grassroots organizations promoting student knowledge and achievement through scholarship, community service, and competitive junior golf. The contributions made by our partners and sponsors are greatly appreciated by students, parents, volunteers, and the hard working people at the NGSA.
Why should you partner with the NGSA?
The combined efforts of the NGSA, Top50 Junior Tour, Student Golfer Magazine, and PGA Golf Professionals provide students with the most comprehensive student golf program in the country, and provide our partners with tremendous local, regional, and national visibility. As a partner with the NGSA, your organization's goodwill will be recognized for providing students the opportunity to enhance their knowledge, develop their character, and enjoy the game of golf. We offer our partners numerous promotional packages ranging from title sponsorship, televised tournament commercials, magazine articles & ads, website promotions, tournament gifts, event supplies, and much more.
How are we unique?
The NGSA provides students with much more than great golf tournaments. We are providing students with the opportunity to enroll in a national student golf program while participating at the local level, in what we call TourZones. Each TourZone provides students with numerous opportunities to compete in tournaments, find a job at a local golf course, volunteer in the community, and earn scholarship awards. The TourZone structure of the Top50 Junior Tour provides our partners the opportunity to promote their organization at the local and national level. We recognize that each of our partners require a unique marketing strategy that is specific to their target market. Upon your request, we will assist you in developing a program that best suits your personal promotional goals.
Why do we need your help?
As a non-profit organization, we are seeking the assistance of business partners to provide resources that will allow the NGSA to continue program expansion to other cities in the United States and provide increasingly more scholarship opportunities for participating students. Since inception we have experienced tremendous growth in participation; however our ability to increase the number of awarded scholarships is dependent upon our ability to find individuals and businesses that believe in our philosophy (promoting knowledge and achievement through student golf) and would like to partner with the NGSA family.
The NGSA Philosophy?
We believe that the golf course is a great place for young people to learn the values of respect, honesty and personal responsibility. In no other sport is honesty and respect for your fellow competitor and the game itself such an integral part of the game. We feel that individuals, who develop and exhibit these qualities on the golf course, will carry these attributes over into their educational and professional careers. The National Golf Scholarship Association continues to support golf programs that enhance personal knowledge and achievement through junior golf.
