About the Provost's Scholarship Open

Purpose: The Provost's Scholarship Open, hosted by the Department of Recreational Sports and the University Golf Course, is a golf tournament to benefit students of the University of Minnesota by raising funds to endow student scholarships. Karen Hanson, Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost, invites you to join her in this day of celebrating our students and assisting with the effort to provide additional scholarship support.

We are pleased to announce that the 2011 event raised over $36,000 for the University of Minnesota Foundation’s General Scholarship Fund. With your help we can increase that number this year!

Who Can Participate: The tournament is open to the entire University community, including faculty, staff, students, alumni, and friends.
