Presents the Earl Anthony Memorial $5,000 Scholarship Application

The legendary Earl Anthony won 41 Professional Bowlers Association National Tour Titles and seven PBA Senior Titles. A member of both the PBA and USBC Halls of Fame, he was the first pro to achieve more than $1 million in career earnings.

A low key competitor with an accurate, consistent and controlled style that lead many to call him “The Machine,” Anthony displayed true concern for youth bowlers’ success. In 1980 he partnered with the American Junior Congress in a national contest for youth to “Beat Earl Anthony,” launching what later morphed into the popular “Beat the Coach” challenge that many USBC Youth leagues still conduct today.

USBC’s Earl Anthony Memorial Scholarship was launched in 2004, three years after Anthony’s death.

This Scholarship is awarded annually to five USBC Youth members.
