Investing in the next generation

Scholarships

Scholarships are a future pillar of the Swing for Life – BQ Foundation.
As the foundation grows, our goal is to provide local scholarships that reflect who Braxton was — supporting young people through golf and the trades, while continuing to promote connection, confidence, and purpose.

How Scholarships Fit Our Mission

Mental health initiatives are the core focus. Scholarships are a long-term expression of that mission—supporting purpose, connection, confidence, and opportunity through golf and the trades.
