The Evans Scholarship is a full tuition and housing college scholarship for high-achieving caddies with limited financial means. To qualify, caddies must meet the requirements of having a strong caddie record, excellent academics, demonstrated financial need and outstanding character. Scholarship applications are accepted at the beginning of an applicant’s senior year of high school, as well as from college freshmen. We send Evans Scholars to many different leading universities. They live and work together in community, with each chapter electing its own officers, running social and service activities and participating in campus programs.

Community living is critical, helping Scholars develop leadership capabilities and strong communication skills. The support system and sense of empowerment fostered in the Scholarship Houses is largely responsible for our Program's 95 percent graduation rate and the tremendous success of our Alumni. Applications run from October until the deadline, and FAFSA forms should be submitted by the FAFSA deadline.
