MJT Herrendorf Family Foundation Scholarships

MJT  SCHOLARSHIPS AND AWARDS

The Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour is pleased to present annual awards for the MJT Players of the Year, Order of Merit Winners and MJT Scholarships.

In 2023, the MJT is delighted to announce renewed sponsorship of the Scholarship Program by the Herrendorf Family Foundation (HFF).

Herrendorf Family Foundation: Hershel Herrendorf was born in Haifa Israel on July 8, 1949. Following his family’s move to the United States in 1965, and his successful life in Chicago, Hershel passed suddenly in 2014, leaving his family with a foundation and legacy they hold dear. The Herrendorf Family Foundation invests in strategic partnerships with global change leaders. Together, they advocate for education, empowerment and generational resilience. In 2021, the Herrendorf Family Foundation launched their wrap-around umbrella “We Got You”, which includes scholarships, emergency grants, support for mothers, contributing partnerships and community engagement.

2023 MJT Herrendorf Family Foundation Scholarships:

$5,000 in the form of $1,000 Scholarships were awarded to 5 MJT members who showed exemplary athletic, educational and personal achievements and who met the eligibility requirements. Funds are paid directly to an educational institution.

$10,000 was allocated in 2023 to help cover the expenses of participation for five deserving athletes in the season-ending finale, the MJT National Championship presented by TaylorMade and adidas Golf at The Wigwam Golf Resort in Litchfield (Phoenix), AZ, on November 9-12, 2023.
 
$10,000 was awarded in 5 HFF Playing Scholarships for Junior Tour members, in an innovative move to help secure the competitive golf tenure on the MJT for these five athletes, ensuring they have a paid place to compete without the barriers of membership and entry fee costs. This support is intended to follow these “HFF Playing Scholars” throughout their MJT journey.

Dylan Reichelt Memorial Award ($1,000 to each Junior & Juvenile BC OOM Champion) - 2021

"Dylan Reichelt was a regular member of the MJT for four years. He was taken from us in a vehicle accident one week prior to the MJT season finale in Florida at the end of the 2011 season. Dylan was always watching the Order of Merit points race and wanted to be first, which he was on a few occasions, he just loved the competition. The life lessons Dylan and his twin brother Jesse learned through the MJT were invaluable.".......The Reichelt Family.
