Scholarship Committee

The SUCA Scholarship Program, established in 1989, is one of our most impactful initiatives—empowering the next generation through education. Funded entirely by proceeds from SUCA’s annual golf tournament, the program provides financial assistance to the children of SUCA member company employees who are high school seniors planning to attend college in the fall.

To date, SUCA has proudly awarded over $183,000 in scholarships to exceptional students pursuing higher education. Each spring, scholarship application packages are made available to all member firms in April, with a submission deadline of May 15th. Recipients are recognized at our annual Scholarship Night in June, where awards are presented in front of the full membership.
