Santee golf tournament raises money for student veterans

Military veterans and military-connected students are getting help with college costs while building a network of support through a golf tournament returning to Santee this fall. The second annual Scholarships FORE Veterans Golf Tournament will take place Nov. 20 at Carlton Oaks Country Club. Funds raised will benefit veteran and military-connected students attending colleges within the San Diego Community College District (SDCCD). The inaugural tournament raised $23,152 through contributions from 54 donors, resulting in 15 scholarships being awarded to veteran students. This year, organizers hope to raise even more money while expanding the support network available to students. Funds raised will be divided equally among the district’s four institutions: San Diego City College, San Diego Mesa College, San Diego Miramar College and San Diego College of Continuing Education. Each campus will distribute scholarships through its own award process.
