Amelie Phung and Caitlyn Chin named 2025–2026 Acumatica–LPGA Foundation Scholarship recipients

These scholarships are part of a program launched in 2024 to empower young women who excel in golf, academics, leadership and community service. The program focuses on increasing female representation in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). By supporting their education and elevating their accomplishments, Acumatica and the LPGA aim to nurture future female leaders and expand opportunities for women traditionally underrepresented in these fields.

“As a company committed to innovation, inclusivity and community impact, we’re proud to support Amelie and Caitlyn, two remarkable young women who embody creativity, excellence, leadership and the fortitude needed to realize their potential,” said John Case, CEO of Acumatica. “Their accomplishments on the course and in their academic and entrepreneurial pursuits inspire us to keep pushing boundaries and investing in the next generation of changemakers.”

Amelie Phung is a nationally ranked golfer and accomplished STEM entrepreneur from Boca Raton, Fla. As the co-founder of STEM Prodigy, she has expanded tutoring and educational outreach nationwide, partnering with organizations like First Tee and Girls Who Code. This fall, she will enter Rice University, intending to study mechanical engineering and pursue the school’s inaugural bachelor’s degree in artificial intelligence (AI). Phung has excelled both academically, as a National Merit Scholar Finalist and Rolex Scholastic Jr. All-American, and athletically, earning recognition as Palm Beach County’s 2022 Girls Player of the Year and becoming the first scholarship commit for Rice’s inaugural women’s golf team.

“I am forever grateful for the copious life lessons golf has taught me about the significance of balancing relationships, giving back to the community and appreciating opportunities,” said Phung. “I hope to continue to leverage my understanding of AI to help golfers and enterprises optimize their performance.”

Caitlyn Chin, from Greenwood Village, Colo., is a three-time All-State golfer, accomplished coder and passionate community advocate. With top finishes at the Drive, Chip and Putt National Finals and leadership roles on her varsity golf team, Chin blends athletic excellence with a strong interest in business, computer science and social impact. She has founded two entrepreneurial projects, ABC Tutors and Concerts Everywhere, and has earned recognition as an Advanced Placement Scholar, a Girls Who Code Web Design Awardee and a recipient of the Colorado Department of Education’s Seal of Biliteracy. Chin will be attending the University of Michigan, where she plans to major in computer science and join the University of Michigan National Collegiate Club Golf Association team.

“Inspired by Yaa Asantewaa, an Ashanti Queen who broke gender barriers, I learned that I could also break barriers in a historically male field of entrepreneurship,” said Chin. “In college, I hope to continue breaking barriers through entrepreneurship for a more sustainable world. I’m grateful for golf’s opportunities to uplift female golfers and youth to pursue their goals and to teach them golf’s life lessons that I’ve learned and live by.”

These young women’s achievements reflect the scholarship program’s mission to broaden opportunities for women in golf and STEM, a goal shared by Acumatica and the LPGA Foundation.

“The LPGA has partnered with Acumatica to support young women who exemplify leadership, passion and a drive to make an impact,” said Nancy Henderson, president of the LPGA Foundation. “Together, we’re championing the advancement of women and building a more inclusive future for sports and technology. As part of our ongoing commitment to empowering the next generation of women leaders, the LPGA Foundation awards more than $200,000 in scholarship funds annually to female high school senior golfers.”

This scholarship program is part of Acumatica’s broader goal to create lasting opportunities for new talent and help shape a more inclusive, innovative future for the industry. To learn more about Acumatica’s inclusivity initiatives, visit https://acumaticares.acumatica.com/.
