Justin McCutcheon Scholarship

The Justin McCutcheon Memorial Scholarship was established in 2006 by his family to honor the memory of Justin McCutcheon and to recognize a high school student who is a senior member of a CCAA Golf Team. Justin planned to enroll as an agricultural business major at Cal Poly-SLO but died unexpectedly at the age of 19 after graduating from San Luis Obispo High School. While at San Luis Obispo High School Justin was a Tiger varsity letter golfer and earned All PacFive (now CCAA League) honors four consecutive years. A former teammate, Jack Galey, fondly remembered Justin when stating “He was definitely a comic on the course, he always had something to say . . . He was one of the guys who was the most fun to play with.” The $1,000 scholarship is awarded each year with the intention of helping its’ recipient’s transition to college.
