Scholarship Golf Outing will help Cincinnati State students

July 30, 2010

Friends of Cincinnati State will tee up Monday, September 20 at the Western Hills Country Club for one of the College’s most important fund-raising events of the year.

In years past such golf outings have raised more than $50,000 toward scholarships for Cincinnati State students. Each year more than 50 students receive scholarships funded by the event.

Even though Cincinnati State’s tuition is about half that of other schools in the region, approximately 70 percent of its students require financial assistance. Moreover, the prospect of state and federal budget cuts because of the economic downturn makes it more important than ever for the College to raise funds to help students who need assistance.

In addition to fees from golfers who are participating in the outing, the Scholarship Golf Classic raises funds through sponsorships and a silent auction.

Because the golfers’ fees cover all overhead costs for the event, all sponsorship revenues go directly toward scholarships and are thus fully tax deductible. Sponsorship opportunities are still available, as are a limited number of slots for those who wish to play in the Golf Classic. All registered golfers will receive a $100 gift certificate to The Summit Restaurant at the Midwest Culinary Institute at Cincinnati State.
