Jack Elton Snyder
Foundation Scholarship

Jack Elton Snyder loved people, worked hard, kept his faith, and played golf with everything he had. This scholarship exists because of who he was — and it belongs to a young golfer who lives the same way.

The JES & Us Golf Scholarship Foundation awards a full year of The Golf Room's Junior Academy to young golfers who show up not just with talent, but with character, compassion, faith, and a genuine desire to be better than they were yesterday.

Our Mission

We're Not Looking
for Perfection.
We're Looking
for Heart.

The JES & Us Golf Scholarship Foundation was created to invest in young golfers who demonstrate not only talent and commitment to the game, but character, compassion, faith, perseverance, and a desire to make a difference in the lives of others.

We want to know you — not just the golfer. There are no perfect answers. What matters is your willingness to grow, your treatment of others, your commitment to the game, and the person you are becoming.

"Our hope is that this scholarship will not simply help you become a better golfer. Our hope is that it will help you become a better person."
— JES & Us Golf Scholarship Foundation
What Jack Believed In
Loving people. Jack had a genuine love for the people in his life — not just those who were easy to love.
Encouraging others. He lifted people up. That mattered more to him than his own recognition.
Working hard. He understood that the gap between where you are and where you want to be is filled with effort.
Making a difference. Jack believed every person has an opportunity to leave things better than they found them.
Faith. His relationship with Jesus Christ shaped the way he loved people and approached every part of his life.
