Registration is now officially open for the 2025 Scholarship Golf Classic, brought to you by the Bryson Family of Highlands. The event is scheduled for Sept. 15 at Cullasaja Club, marking the 50th Anniversary of the Town’s Scholarship Fund.
Since 1975, the town has been awarding scholarships to graduates of the Highlands School, who are pursuing a post-secondary education. Students attending universities and trade schools are eligible provided they’re a graduate of Highlands School. All students receive some level of support for the duration of their education provided they apply each year.
The day will begin with a light breakfast, followed by at 10:30 a.m. shotgun start. Following golf, you’ll sit down to a full buffet dinner in the beautiful Cullasaja Club clubhouse. The event will be capped off at 28 teams, so be sure to reserve your spot. The cost for the event is $800 per team ($200/player). Hole sponsorships are available for $150. Mike and Jim Bryson are continuing to support this event, ensuring it continues to be a revered community event, one that everyone looks forward to year after year. For the foreseeable future, the Bryson Family will be a partner for the event and cover all the expenses associated with the golf tournament.
“It is an honor to have the support and partnership of the Bryson Family because it enables us to generate substantially more for the Town of Highlands Scholarship Fund,” said event chair Brian Stiehler. “This is such a unique program, and we know the community has been, and will continue to be, behind this 100%.”
“The Town is so fortunate to have Bryson Family’s support for this important annual event,” said Highlands Mayor Pat Taylor. “This year is particularly special because we are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Scholarship Fund.”
