Doug Evans Memorial Junior Scholarship

In memory of longtime NENY PGA Tournament Director and Assistant Executive Director Doug Evans, three $2,500 scholarships are awarded annually to deserving graduating seniors. Doug dedicated nearly two decades to growing junior golf in Northeastern New York and was known for his passion, encouragement, and commitment to junior players and families. Since the scholarship’s creation, the NENY PGA REACH Foundation has awarded over $19,500 in academic scholarships to support junior golfers pursuing higher education.

Andrew Rosenbaum NENY Junior Tour Memorial Scholarship

Established to honor PGA Professional Andrew Rosenbaum and his passion for junior golf, this scholarship recognizes students who demonstrate strong character, leadership, sportsmanship, academic success, and community involvement. Two graduating seniors each receive a $1,000 scholarship, renewable for up to three additional years if eligibility requirements continue to be met. The scholarship is funded through the Jan S. and Mark R. Rosenbaum Endowment Fund in partnership with the NENY PGA REACH Foundation and the NENY PGA Junior Golf Committee.

Together, these five scholarships reflect the NENY PGA’s commitment to helping junior golfers succeed both on and off the golf course.
