We are honored to highlight these amazing four Dallas-area seniors, the 2021 recipients of Jordan Spieth Family Foundation scholarships. In the last few years, JSFF has seen first-hand the positive influence that the Fairway to Success program has had on many students in North Texas. Many of these young students are navigating far more complex situations than the average high school senior, and pursuing college as one of the first(s) in their families. The NTPGA built this program around learning disciplines of life through golf, and creating and leveraging a mentoring relationship. It culminates with the college scholarships being awarded to these deserving students and partnering each with a Deloitte mentor for their school years ahead.
