PGA REACH Philadelphia Announces New Scholarship Class

Lower Gwynedd Township, Pa. (April 11, 2025) — PGA REACH Philadelphia, the 501(c)(3) charitable arm of the Philadelphia PGA Section,  is proud to announce six recipients of the 2025 Philadelphia PGA Junior Tour Diversity Scholarship: Finley Campbell, West Chester, Pa.; Dylan Campion, Bala Cynwyd, Pa.; Soren Cohen, Bala Cynwyd, Pa.; Skylar Crutchfield, Elkins Park, Pa.; Elizabeth George, South Abington Township, Pa.; and Rogan Knapp, Williamstown, N.J.

The scholarship program was established in 2019 to promote greater diversity in golf and awards opportunities to any junior golfers in of financial assistance. Specifically, golfers receive a free membership to the Philadelphia PGA Junior Tour,  seven free tournament entries annually, until the age of 18, and are assigned a PGA of America Golf Professional as a mentor to coach them through challenges they are facing on and off the course.

This year’s class is supported by our partners Women Golfers Give Back and Valley Forge Tourism & Convention Board. The golf equipment is provided with the support of the Philadelphia Cricket Club’s 1854 Foundation.

In addition to the six individuals that will receive the scholarship, PGA REACH Philadelphia has partnered with The First Tee of Greater Philadelphia and Delaware to provide 20 additional students of The First Tee with two tournament entries and a Philadelphia PGA Junior Tour membership for the 2025 season.

“We are thrilled to announce the selection of six exceptional scholars from the largest pool of applicants. Each recipient embodies not only a passion for the game of golf but also a dedication to academic excellence and community involvement. We believe they will represent the PGA REACH Philadelphia with distinction and contribute positively to the future of the sport,” said Courtney Curcio, PGA REACH Philadelphia Director.
