Our Programs: The R&A Canada Foundation Scholarship

The R&A Canada Foundation administers and supports scholarships that form part of an international learning network.

We are proud to support The Royal and Ancient Golf Club Scholarship—an initiative that recognizes and supports promising individuals who are pursuing post-secondary education and developing the skills necessary for impactful, public-benefit careers. 

While this scholarship program is managed and promoted by The R&A, our contribution is independently administered by The R&A Canada Foundation in Canada. 

A Global Impact

This scholarship program provides financial assistance and structured learning opportunities to help recipients become the leaders they aspire to be. Our scholars represent a diverse range of academic and professional interests, such as:

  • Coaching and Leadership

  • Agronomy and Environmental Science

  • Nutrition and Human Health

  • Sustainability and Community Inclusion

Comprehensive Support

To foster long-term personal and community impact, the program provides a holistic support structure: 

  • Educational Bursaries: Up to $18,600 per year to assist with tuition and academic costs. 

  • Program-Related Grants: Up to $9,300 per year for specialized training and professional development. 

  • Mentorship & Networking: Access to structured mentoring from experienced leaders and participation in a global peer learning network. 

  • Professional Events: Opportunities to attend educational conferences and specialized learning events. 

Together, these elements are designed to reduce financial barriers, support academic success, and foster leadership capacity. The skills developed through the program are not limited to any single profession and are intended to support long-term personal, academic, and community impact.
