The scholarship is funded by the Henry & Sara Sheehan Foundation. It was named in honor of their daughter, Sara, who was an educated business woman, an avid golfer and an animal lover who graduated from college in Lake Forest, Illinois. Sara's parents wanted to help other females who, like Sara, believe that golf teaches important qualities such as patience and discipline. The objective of the scholarship is to help other female students of good character attend college.
