The Scholars’ Cup at the Quail Lodge & Golf Club experienced another record-breaking year in 2024. Thanks to your generosity and the support of sponsors from the community, the Cup’s Community Impact Fund grew by almost $220,000.
For the 2023-2024 academic year there were 12 first time recipients and 12 existing scholars who qualified to renew an award for another year or college education. The application process for 2024-2025 academic year is underway.
The Scholars’ Cup originated in 2006 when a long time Quail member, Wayne Sargent, wanted to leave a modest educational legacy.
