Pat Fletcher often expressed the desire to establish a means of providing financial assistance to deserving, young Canadian golfers to continue their education at the post secondary level. He wanted to return something to the game of golf that had enriched his life and career. As such, he was committed to establishing a charitable foundation which would be supported by persons and organizations interested in golf and education.

The Pat Fletcher Scholarship Foundation was established in 1986 as a tribute to Pat Fletcher’s many accomplishments. The Foundation began through the generous contributions and efforts of many people and is fulfilling its objectives.

For more than 30 years, we have touched the lives of 263 students, with 543 scholarships for a total over seven hundred thousand dollars, giving them the opportunity to pursue their education and obtain a university degree. Our scholarship recipients include students from every province in Canada who go on to pursue their education at top schools both in Canada and the U.S.

The recipients of our scholarships are outstanding young people – hard-working, well-rounded leaders in their communities. They share our desire of “making a difference” and we are proud to have played a small role in helping to shape their future.
