FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Hosted at Grande Oaks Golf Club, the 36th Annual Nova Southeastern University Scholarship Golf Classic Presented by DELL took place on Monday, April 19. The proceeds from the Scholarship Golf Classic directly impact NSU student-athletes by way of scholarships and academic support.
Since its inception, the NSU Scholarship Golf Classic has raised over 6.8 million dollars in endowments funds to benefit the student-athlete scholarship fund. Through the silent auction, which generated a record-high $29,400, and through generous donations from the event sponsors, the tournament was another huge success.
“I am humbled and honored by the generosity of our sponsors and supporters of NSU Athletics,” said Director of Athletics/Associate Vice President for Advancement Michael Mominey. “The Golf Classic has been a long-standing tradition for the university and certainly is our signature event celebrating and supporting our student-athletes. An event such as this is an affirmation of what truly defines our One Shark Family.”
The support and success of the Scholarship Golf Classic is essential to the sustainable success of NSU’s NCAA Division II athletic program. Nova Southeastern currently sponsors 16 teams, as well as the Sharkettes spirit squad. The Sharks have captured eight NCAA Team National Championships, 23 Individual NCAA National Championships, and 37 Sunshine State Conference Championships.
NSU student-athletes live out the core values and mission of the university by realizing their potential on and off the field. In addition to athletic accomplishments, they are driven to perform at the highest level in academics. As a result, NSU Athletics has achieved a collective departmental GPA of 3.0 or higher for the past 18 consecutive years and for the past four years have achieved a 3.20 GPA or higher.
