The Walter J. Travis Memorial Scholarship is an annual award given to honor the remarkable accomplishments and contributions of Walter J. Travis in the game of golf. The Travis Society's Scholarships are awarded to students pursuing a career in one of the following professions: landscape design/golf course architecture; golf course turf grass management/golf course superintendent; professional golf management, club professional, or sports journalism with a special interest in golf. In addition, we will give serious consideration to outstanding amateur high school, college, or university golfers for our scholarship awards, based on their competitive record as an amateur golfer, and criteria listed below (with exception of career goals). Amateur golfer applicants do not need to be pursuing a career in a golf related industry. One of our scholarships is awarded in honor of Rudy Zocchi, a long-time Travis Society member who devoted much of the last years of his life to researching Walter J. Travis. Three current and Travis Scholarship-specific letters of recommendation are required. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
