This year Entprepreneurial Scotland / The Saltire Foundation are sending over 180 students from 14 Scottish universities on fully funded internships all around the world. As part of the Saltire Programme, Scholars are encouraged to give back by way of fundraising which will help towards the sustainability of the programme for years to come. With the biggest ever cohort of Scholars we have an ambitious target of £10,000!

Three of us are in Houston, TX, and we are organising the 5th Annual Swing4Saltire Golf Tournament as our fundraising effort. The event will be held at Cypress Lakes Golf Club on Friday the 2nd of August, with breakfast tacos (very Texas), a shotgun start, BBQ lunch (also very Texas), trophies and a raffle!

We already have some amazing sponsors! Special thanks to our Gold Event Sponsor Wood, Silver Sponsors TRC, the Scottish Space School and Mercator Inc, and also Petrofac, Vantage Drilling, Cadre Energy, 2020 Exhibits, Bill Scarff, KRCL, Onward Consulting, the Rice Space Institute, Shawcor, Eric Willis, ROC Services, Data Gumbo, and the 2011 and 2017 Houston Scholars Alumni! We also have some truly incredible raffle prizes lined up, from famous Texan sports teams and beyond, so we're sure it's going to be a really great event. 

With less than 2 weeks to go, we're on our final push! We're still looking for more Hole Sponsors in particular, but any donation big or small would be greatly appreciated.

Saltire Alumni? We have a generous donor here in the USA that will match your donation! The $200 we've received from Saltire Alumni so far is now a $400 contribution! 

Thank you in advance for your generosity!
