I have been at Wagner College, Staten Island, for a month now and I love it. Attending this amazing institution, located in New York City, has opened my eye to endless op-portunities. I am also enjoying the support and competitiveness of being a member of the Wagner Seahawk Women's golf team. I was proud to finish tied for tenth in

my first golf tournament at Dartmouth College. Thank you to the Connor and Spafford families, for your financial support. It is greatly appreciated, as my family has three of us in university. You have made many young female golfer's dreams come true, and I

feel grateful to be one of them.”

“As the recipient of the William Kucey scholarship, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Golf Canada and its respective scholarship funders for the opportunity and support that you have provided through this scholarship and the tournaments

that you organize. As a member of the University of Toronto’s men’s varsity golf team, I am very fortunate to have all the tools necessary not only to improve my golf game but also to discover myself in a competitive environment and develop a strong

character that has helped me prosper on the course, academically and in my own personal life. This said, the William Kucey scholarship has lightened the financial bur-den that comes with post secondary studies and thereby allowed me to focus more on my performance in the class room and on the course. Your help has inspired me

to work hard so that I may continue to learn and develop as a student athlete and represent the core values of the Charles and Jane Kucey Foundation as well as the

Golf Canada Foundation wherever I may be.”
