Local student-athletes encouraged to apply for scholarships

The Canyon Lake 9er’s Golf Club once again invites local Canyon Lake resident student athletes to apply for its 9er’s Student Athlete Scholarship. The scholarship will be awarded in May or June and is open to Canyon Lakers attending any local high school and graduating this year.

Applicants must have maintained at least a 3.0 GPA and have been actively involved in school activities, been a member of a sports team, have participated in community service and plan to attend college in the fall.

In the 2018-19 academic year, the 9er’s, with the help of the Canyon Lake Car Club, the Canyon Lake Golf Community and many Canyon Lake businesses, awarded four scholarships ranging from $1,500 to $2,500.

The 9er’s host an annual Scholarship Golf Tournament each year. This year’s 5th annual tournament was successfully held prior to the COVID-19 lockdown. The club has awarded over $20,000 in its first four years of issuing these scholarships. They anticipate awarding a generous amount this year as well.

To apply for the 2019-20 scholarship, contact Teresa Roberson at 310-741-0223 to obtain details on how to apply and return applications.

The application should include a “Brag Sheet,” an essay and recommendations from a teacher and athletic coach, if possible. Applicants may be invited to an interview with the 9er’s Scholarship Committee.

Student-athletes are asked to return their application packets to Teresa Roberson, 30764 Pyramid Point Drive, Canyon Lake by May 15.
