Montréal, le 18 janvier 2026 – Des passionnés de golf ont été réunis à la Maison du Loisir et du Sport par la fédération provinciale afin d’assister à la remise de bourses de la Fondation Aléo en équipe avec Golf Québec où 30 étudiant·e·s-athlètes de golf ont reçu 75 000 $ en bourses et en services.
Cette 12e édition de la remise du Programme de bourses Golf Québec x Fondation Aléo a été possible grâce à la générosité de Claude Chagnon, Roland-Beaulieu Foundation et le Fonds Patrick Rhéaume.
Programme Golf Québec x Fondation Aléo
Le Programme de bourses Golf Québec x Fondation Aléo a été créé, il y plus d’une décennie, de concert par les deux organismes afin d’aider financièrement et de mieux encadrer les jeunes golfeuses et golfeurs, tout en les sensibilisant à l’importance primordiale de leurs études en adéquation avec leur carrière sportive. Depuis, près de 350 golfeurs et golfeuses ont bénéficié de ce programme et des services d’accompagnement déployés à vie par la Fondation Aléo.
Bourses Patrick Rhéaume
Patrick Rhéaume, un ami de Golf Québec, ancien entraîneur et ex-directeur régional de Golf Canada pour le Québec, vivait avec la sclérose latérale amyotrophique et est décédé en février 2024. Engagé de plusieurs façons dans le monde du golf au Québec et au Canada pendant 31 ans, il tenait à laisser un héritage pour le sport qui le passionne. Son entourage et lui ont donc mis sur pied le Fonds Patrick Rhéaume qui a pour objectif de soutenir des athlètes dont l’engagement envers leur sport atteint un niveau remarquable.
In their own words:
« Depuis 2014, ce programme a permis à des centaines de jeunes passionné(e)s de golf âgés de 13 à 18 ans de recevoir un soutien concret pour grandir, non seulement comme athlètes, mais aussi comme individus. Notre mission est de placer l’athlète au cœur de nos actions en lui offrant les outils nécessaires pour progresser dans toutes les sphères de sa vie, notamment grâce aux services d’accompagnement qui l’appuient aujourd’hui, tout au long de son parcours et même après. Rien de tout cela ne serait possible sans nos donateurs, dont l’engagement fait une réelle différence dans la vie de ces jeunes. »
– Jean-Pierre Beaulieu, Executive Director of Golf Québec
« Par cette collaboration avec Golf Québec, la Fondation Aléo souhaite permettre aux récipiendaires d’avoir accès aux mêmes outils et mêmes services professionnels que les athlètes des autres sports d’excellence. Ce soutien vise à aider au développement sportif des athlètes et leur offrir la possibilité de s’entraîner de façon globale, tout en poursuivant leur cheminement académique. Via les services de soutien en conciliation sport et études ainsi qu’en orientation, notre lien est à vie avec tous les boursiers et toutes les boursières. »

Golf Québec x Aléo Foundation Scholarship Program: Joining forces to support the next generation of golfers
Montreal, January 18, 2026 – Golf enthusiasts gathered at the Maison du Loisir et du Sport, hosted by the provincial federation, to attend the Aléo Foundation scholarship award ceremony in partnership with Golf Québec, where 30 student-athlete golfers received $75,000 in scholarships and services.
This 12th edition of the Golf Québec x Fondation Aléo Scholarship Program awards ceremony was made possible thanks to the generosity of Claude Chagnon, Roland-Beaulieu Foundation, and Patrick Rhéaume Fund.
Golf Québec x Aléo Foundation Program
The Golf Québec x Fondation Aléo Scholarship Program was created more than a decade ago by the two organizations to provide financial assistance and better support young golfers, while raising their awareness of the vital importance of pursuing their studies in tandem with their athletic careers. Since then, nearly 350 golfers have benefited from this program and the lifelong support services provided by the Aléo Foundation.
Patrick Rhéaume Scholarships
Patrick Rhéaume, a friend of Golf Québec, former coach, and former regional director of Golf Canada for Québec, lived with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and passed away in February 2024. Deeply involved in the world of golf in Québec and Canada for 31 years, he was keen to leave a legacy for the sport he loved. He and his family therefore set up the Patrick Rhéaume Fund, which aims to support athletes whose commitment to their sport is truly remarkable.
In their words:
» Since 2014, this program has enabled hundreds of young golf enthusiasts aged 13 to 18 to receive concrete support to grow, not only as athletes, but also as individuals. Our mission is to put the athlete at the heart of everything we do by providing them with the tools they need to progress in all areas of their lives, particularly through the support services provided today, throughout their athletic career, and even beyond. None of this would be possible without our donors, whose commitment makes a real difference in the lives of these young people. »
– Jean-Pierre Beaulieu, Executive Director of Golf Québec
« Through this collaboration with Golf Québec, the Aléo Foundation aims to give recipients access to the same tools and professional services as athletes in other high-performance sports. This support is intended to help athletes develop their athletic skills and offer them the opportunity to train comprehensively while pursuing their academic studies. Through our support services, which help students balance sports and studies and provide guidance, we maintain a lifelong relationship with all our scholarship recipients. »
