Tournament raises over $70K for scholarships

The Beaufort County School District's sold-out "Swinging with the Superintendent" golf tournament Monday raised more than $70,000 to support a second year of a scholarship program that pays two years of college tuition to qualified students.

The Building a Better Beaufort Scholarship covers up to two years of tuition costs at the Technical College of the Lowcountry for Beaufort County high school graduates who have at least a 2.75 GPA. The program provided free tuition for 36 students last year.
