Evans Scholars Foundation

The Evans Scholarship was founded by golf great Charles “Chick” Evans, Jr. (1890-1979). The Western Golf Association sponsored Evans Scholars Foundation administers the nation’s largest privately funded college scholarship program, providing full tuition and housing grants to deserving caddies. Since the first two Scholars enrolled at Northwestern University in 1930, over 8,500 caddies have earned their degrees through the program. Tuition and housing grants are renewable for up to four years, representing an average value of $80,000 over four years. The Foundation owns and maintains Evans Scholarship Houses at fourteen universities, and Scholars are enrolled in six other schools. While the program is national in scope, its focus is principally in the Midwest.

There are four primary criteria for scholarship grants:

  1. Candidates who are nominated by their golf clubs, must have a documented caddie record with a minimum of two years of caddie service.
  2. Candidates must have an excellent high school academic record, ranking in the top 25% of the class.
  3. Candidates must demonstrate financial need.
  4. Candidates must have outstanding personal character.
