The Evans Scholarship is a full housing and tuition college scholarship awarded to golf caddies with limited financial means. Evans Scholars are selected on the basis of strong caddie record, excellent grades, outstanding character and demonstrated financial need.  This year, over 1,000 Evans Scholars will enroll in 18 leading universities nationwide.

Since 1930, when the first two Evans Scholars enrolled at Northwestern University, more than 11,050 outstanding young men and women have graduated from college as Evans Scholars.
