THE TIM BECKWITH SCHOLARSHIP
The Tim Beckwith S
cholarship was established to honor the life and legacy of PGA Master Professional Tim Beckwith, a cherished member of the Southwest Chapter of the North Florida PGA who was known for his integrity, persistence, hard work, and sense of humor.

It is awarded to young individuals who have demonstrated strong academic achievement, shown an interest in golf or other athletic endeavors, and embody the character values Tim lived by, including kindness, determination, and a positive spirit.
