Tuition Assistance for Students Pursuing Golf Management

Do you know sports-minded students interested in careers in golf club management? If so, they may be interested to learn about financial awards available to help lessen the financial costs of post-secondary education.

Graduates of Selkirk College's two-year golf management diploma program achieve a 92% placement rate at Canada's more than 2,000 golf clubs and with salaries ranging from $35,000-$150,000. Hundreds of Selkirk grads currently work as general managers, clubhouse managers, food and beverage managers, pro shop managers, tournament coordinators, and golf professionals.

In existence since 1989, the Golf Club Management & Operations Program, within the School of Hospitality & Tourism, focuses on golf management. Courses include business communications, marketing, accounting, computers, human resources, golf club administration, business planning, turf care, conflict resolution, critical thinking, budgeting, risk prevention, business law, tournament planning, and more.
