Golfing Fore Scholarships with the UA South Foundation

As a semi-rural community which supports a major military base, having education opportunities on our doorstep is a mission worthy of support in Cochise County.

Supporting local students is the primary goal of the University of Arizona Sierra Vista. The University South Foundation hosts fundraisers throughout the year to provide scholarship opportunities for students throughout our area.

“According to the National Security Association, the Federal Government will need over 350,000 Cyber Warriors in the next three years to be able to protect and defend networks from growing cyber-attacks,” Tournament Chairman Clint Imholte says. “These scholarships and programs help defend against that threat and ensure a future workforce in our community.”
