Overview
The George Sahadi and Larry Vargo Memorial Scholarships are awarded by the BGFA to deserving high school or college students. The intent of both scholarships is to assist deserving students through their educational journey. The scholarships are annual awards and are renewable each year the student attends the school provided the student continues to meet the requirements of the scholarship. The scholarships are funded through generous donations and fundraising activities. The annual value of the scholarship award may vary. Scholarship winners will be notified in June and invited to receive their scholarship in person at the annual BGFA Scholarship Golf Outing.
