Chick Evans Caddie Scholarships

Website: Evans Scholars Foundation

Description

Eligibility

Each year more than 800 deserving caddies attend college on tuition and housing grants from the Evans Scholars Foundation. To qualify, caddies must be nominated by their club and meet four requirements:
  • Rank among the top 25 percent of their high school class
  • Have a superior caddie record for two or more years,
  • Show financial need
  • Have outstanding personal character.
Almost all Evans Scholars attend one of the 14 universities where the Foundation maintains a Chapter House. An Evans Scholar is asked to fulfill four requirements: They must keep a strong academic record, perform community service, respect their fellow Scholars and faithfully perform assigned housework.

Procedure

More than 200 new Scholars are chosen annually. The culmination of the selection process is the applicant’s interview with the Scholarship Committee, consisting of WGA officials and other friends of the program. The decision follows, and the new Evans Scholar is notified within a few days.
