James B. "Monty" Moncrief Scholarship Program

The James B. "Monty" Moncrief Scholarship Program supports Georgia's most promising future superintendents through the GSGA Foundation. The scholarships honor deserving students in the field of agronomy and turf management at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College, the University of Georgia, and students who work and live in Georgia but attend an accredited program outside of the state. The scholarship is named in memory of James B. "Monty" Moncrief, a former Southeastern Green Section Director for the USGA. This program is also supported by the Georgia Golf Course Superintendents Association. Applications are reviewed annually during the spring, and personal interviews may be required for selected candidates. The program aims to develop the next generation of golf course superintendents by providing financial support to students pursuing degrees in turfgrass management and agronomy related to the golf industry.
