The Superintendents As Executives (SAE) scholarship is awarded to a student that not only excels in the turf management program but also shows an interest in a secondary concentration in business or a related field. The goal of this scholarship is to reward students who show the aptitude and ambition to grow in our industry in leadership positions beyond turf management. Shanty Creek Resort wants to inspire future turf graduates to progress into positions as Directors of Agronomy, General Managers and Executives.
