Scholarship
The SUCA Scholarship Program was established in 1989 and is funded by SUCA’s annual golf tournament. Scholarships are available each year to children of SUCA members who are high school seniors planning to attend college in the fall. To date, SUCA has awarded over $183,000 in scholarships to some very outstanding individuals.
SUCA Scholarship application packages are available to all member firms in April of each year. The deadline to submit applications is May 13th. Scholarship Night is held in June where the awards are presented before the membership. Please contact the SUCA office for additional information regarding the Scholarship Program.
