In April of this year, Tiger launched a fundraising campaign through Facebook to rally his army of fans around his mission of giving deserving students a shot at college. We are thrilled to announce that thanks to the generosity of Tiger's amazing fans, 10 more Scholars have been given the resources they need to attend college! Tiger matched each fan's donation, dollar for dollar, and after six weeks together, we raised nearly $100,000!

Overwhelmingly, most donations raised were $1, $5, $10 and $20, with donations coming from 12 countries around the world, including Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Portugal, Norway, Italy, Germany, France, Ireland, Malaysia, Iceland and Singapore.

The Tiger Woods Foundation is pleased to welcome the new Scholars into an incredible program that provides financial assistance, prestigious internships, dedicated mentors and career-planning workshops. Currently, our Scholars are attending colleges like Harvard, UCLA, USC, Georgetown and UC Berkeley.

Both Tiger and the Scholars are so thankful for each and every donation made.

"There is an entire generation of young people whose pathway out of poverty is education," Woods said. "These are extremely talented kids, but they can't afford college. I'm lucky enough to be part of an incredible network of fans and supporters who have the ability to make a difference, and there are so many people who want to help."

We are excited to introduce to you our newest members of the Earl Woods Scholarship Program, all thanks to your support!
