The R&A Golf Scholarships

The purpose of the Golf Scholarship Programme is to provide high quality golf coaching and opportunities for the University’s best golfers during the Academic teaching year to enhance their skills but also allow them to compete against other student golfers at other Universities. Funding for the programme is dependent on a successful annual grant application from The R&A Foundation.

Strathclyde is one of four Scottish universities which receives funding from The R&A Foundation to assist with the development of talented young golfers.
