About the Scholarship Open
The Sioux Center Health Scholarship Open, formerly the Swinging Fore Scholars Golf Tournament, is more than just a day on the course. It's a community-driven event that raises funds to support local students and community members pursuing careers in healthcare. Hosted by the Sioux Center Health Foundation, this annual golf outing helps ensure the next generation of healthcare professionals has the support they need to succeed.
Each year, the Foundation awards scholarships of $750 to high school seniors. Immediate family members of Sioux Center Health employees also receive $750, while employees themselves are awarded $1,500. College students can earn $750 as freshmen or sophomores, and $1,500 as juniors or seniors.
By participating in the Scholarship Open, you're helping grow the future of healthcare — right here at home.
