Financial Assistance It is our mission to provide accessible and affordable golf experiences for every child and family who desires to participate in The First Tee of Hampton Roads YMCA programs. Financial assistance is offered on the basis of eligibility and availability. Applications are available at The First Tee service desk in Virginia Beach.
Life Skills Academies The First Tee Life Skills Academies revolve around the Life Skills Experience. Teens from across the country who have demonstrated exceptional golf and leadership skills are selected by their chapter to attend these weeklong camps that offer life skills and leadership development workshops, golf clinics, career exploration and the opportunity to meet peers from across the country.
The Scholars Program The First Tee developed The Scholars Program, offering participants the opportunity to receive recognition for exceptional achievement in areas of academics, leadership, character development and chapter/community involvement. The Scholars Program provides a gateway to a successful future through higher education to qualified participants of The First Tee program. More than twenty-five colleges and universities throughout the United States have partnered with The First Tee, offering a range of merit-based scholarships that provide assistance with the expense of attending a college or university. Exceptional students designated as Scholars are also eligible to receive scholarships that can be used at any accredited institution.
