The Chick Evans Caddie Scholarship is a full tuition and housing college scholarship for golf caddies. Since 1930, more than 9,800 men and women have graduated as Evans Scholars, with most recipients attending one of the 14 universities across

the nation where the Evans Scholars Foundation owns and operates a Scholarship House.

The Program, sponsored by the Western Golf Association in Golf, Illinois, was started by Chicago golf amateur Charles “Chick” Evans Jr. Today, more than 100,000 golfers nationwide, including Evans Scholars Alumni, support the Program, making it the nation’s largest privately funded scholarship program that provides full tuition and housing. Proceeds from special events, endowments and the BMW Championship also support the Evans Scholars. Visit www.wgaesf.org for more information.
