GCSAA awards Royal Spanish Golf Federation scholarship

González earns $10,000 grant to Michigan State University.

Eloy B. González, a student at Michigan State University, won a $10,000 scholarship from the Royal Spanish Golf Federation, funded by The Environmental Institute for Golf, the philanthropic organization of the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA).

The Royal Spanish Golf Federation Scholarship for Golf Course Management is a two-year grant presented to individuals from Spain pursuing a turfgrass management degree at Michigan State University. Winners are selected by the Royal Spanish Golf Federation and also receive an all-expense paid trip to the 2010 GCSAA Education Conference (Feb. 8-12) and Golf Industry Show (Feb. 10-11) in San Diego.

González joins 2008 Royal Spanish Golf Federation Scholarship winners Manuel A. González and José A. Martín, who are both receiving scholarships for the second consecutive year in Michigan State's two-year turfgrass management program.
