Bill Elder Scholarship


Sponsored by the Fox Prairie Men's Club

Scholarship Overview

The Billy Elder Scholarship is awarded annually by the Fox Prairie Men’s Club to support the continuing education of a graduating high school senior who is pursuing a college-level education. 


The scholarship provides a $1,000 award to assist with general college expenses. 

About Billy Elder

The scholarship honors Billy Elder, longtime dean of the Forest Park Golf Course Greenskeepers. 


Beginning in 1952, Elder dedicated 22 years of service to Forest Park Golf Course. He was known for his tireless work ethic, commitment to excellence, and deep devotion to maintaining the beauty and quality of the golf course and park.

In addition to his work as a greenskeeper, Elder was an accomplished golfer and won the City Championship in 1958.
