The Veteran-Owned Business Roundtable (VOBRT) is proud to announce the recipients of the 2024 Golf Scholarship. Following our successful golf outing on August 19th, where over 200 golfers participated, we have the privilege of recognizing thirteen outstanding scholars who have demonstrated exceptional leadership, academic prowess, and a commitment to community service. As we celebrate their achievements, we also wish to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the sponsors who made this possible, helping us raise over $18,000 in scholarships.

 

The Power of Support

At VOBRT, we believe in the transformative power of education and the critical role it plays in empowering our veterans and their families. The Golf Scholarship Program is designed not just to provide financial assistance but to foster a network of support that uplifts our scholars throughout their educational journeys. This initiative reflects our ongoing commitment to nurturing the next generation of leaders within the veteran community.
