The R&A Foundation makes awards to universities to assist the education and development of talented golfers during their course of study and to enhance the standard of university golf. Awards are also made to individual student golfers. In the current year, in excess of £250,000 has been allocated by The R&A for university programmes and individual awards. For 2009-2010, The R&A will be supporting golf programmes at 12 universities and has awarded over 90 individual golf scholarships. Scholars are invited to compete in the annual 54-hole Scholars' Tournament, played in St Andrews in April.
