With the start of a new academic year, TGR Foundation is proud to announce the 2025-2026 cohort of 19 Earl Woods Scholars.
As they begin their freshman year at higher education institutions across the country, scholars will receive a renewable scholarship, 1-1 professional mentorship, peer mentorship, personal and professional development workshops, internship placement assistance and more.
The Earl Woods Scholar Program was created in 2006 to honor the vision and spirit of the late Earl Woods, Tiger’s father and mentor. In addition to academic excellence, scholars accepted into the program demonstrate a commitment to service, aligned with the Woods family legacy of sharing and caring.
“We are excited to expand our Earl Woods Scholar family with this new cohort of scholars,” said Cristina Fernandez, vice president of programs. “We look forward to supporting them on their journeys through college and into their careers.”
Students selected represent five regions across the country, including Orange County, Calif., Los Angeles, Calif., New York, Philadelphia and the Washington D.C.- Maryland- Virginia area.
