Throughout history pearls have symbolized wisdom gained through experience. Becoming a PEARL is more than receiving a scholarship. It is an invitation to become part of a community of women who love golf and live life to the fullest. PEARLS string together to form a sisterhood with a unique set of benefits to assist in your personal and professional growth on and off the course.

The PEARLS: A Community of Golf's Most Accomplished Women
For the past 25 years, more than 200 notable women have been inducted into the esteemed group called PEARLS. Like the precious gem, each PEARL possesses a unique set of admirable qualities. However, when strung together, our scholarship recipients form a never-ending circle of beauty, strength, and promise for the future. As community members, you represent golf's past, present, and future. It is essential to learn from one another, support each other, and celebrate individual achievements along the way. Remember, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it is up to you to make the most of it.
“The golf community has helped me in more ways than I can imagine… this scholarship is a great example of that. It provides girls in golf with the opportunity to explore what the game can do for them while obtaining the education of their choice.”
Bailey Blezinger
“I see myself as a role model because I always work to set a good example… On and off the golf course, I set high expectations for myself and work hard to achieve those goals. I make sure to do everything with integrity, modesty, and respect for others.”
