The Alpha Gam chapter at a liberal arts college near me has several sisters on the golf team. They have all received some type of aid (I thought it rude to ask how much) for the sport. I agree that often financial aid for smaller sports, particularly women's sports do go unclaimed.
I would suggest starting to research Title 9, which requires Opportunity in Athletics to both sexes. Depending on how good your girls are in high school might determine what level they will play in college.
Now that I think of it, my brother was on a small golf scholarship in college, but didn't play on the college team (Ohio State turned out, well, Jack Nicklaus). My brother received it through a local foundation. The scholarship was earmarked for a golfer from within the county, that had a GPA higher than 3.5 and planned to attend OSU. He may have been the only one to qualify, for all I know.
BTW... with their interest in golf, have them consider Evans Scholars, if there is a chapter at their school. These are golf caddies that are typically on full academic scholarships. It's now a coed fraternity. Many of the Evans Scholars start as golfers but weren't top high school players, so they switched to caddying.
