The Marilynn Smith Scholarship, founded with the intention of supporting aspiring athletes in their pursuit of higher education, offers an incredible opportunity for high school seniors who excel in golf and plan to continue their athletic journey at the collegiate level. With an impressive monetary value of $5,000, these scholarships aim to provide much-needed financial assistance to deserving individuals who have shown exceptional dedication and talent in the sport. Scholarship recipient benefits go beyond money for college. Becoming a PEARL means becoming a member of a community built around lifting young women up while celebrating the women who started it all.
