About the Evans Scholars

• The nonprofit Evans Scholars Foundation has helped more than 10,000 golf caddies attend college, investing more than $300 million. Privately funded by the Western Golf Association, the scholarship is awarded based on four criteria: experience as a caddie, academic success, community leadership and financial need.

• The program was founded in 1930 by Chick Evans, a World Golf Hall of Fame member who won the 1916 U.S. Open at Minikahda Club in Minneapolis.
