The 32nd Annual President’s Scholars Golf Outing, presented by Ratio and hosted at the Brickyard Crossing Golf Course in Indianapolis, is taking place on Wednesday, September 9. This outing brings together alumni and friends to support Indiana State University’s most prestigious scholarship. 

The President’s Scholarship provides full tuition and premium housing to exceptional students who demonstrate high academic achievement and leadership, and this year’s outing gave seven current Scholars the chance to network with alumni, donors, and community leaders. Thanks to the generosity of sponsors, participants, and supporters, the outing was a remarkable success and continues to strengthen opportunities for Indiana State’s brightest students.

Breakfast | 8:30 a.m.
Shotgun Start | 10:00 a.m.
Outing is a scramble format.
Awards, skill prizes, and raffle winners will be given following the outing.
