The Evans Scholars Foundation changes the lives of young men and women every year, guiding them from caddie to college to career. The Evans Scholars Foundation administers the nation’s largest scholarship program for caddies.  The foundation works with caddie programs nationwide to create opportunities that teach young people life lessons and introduce them to golf. There are currently 1,010 scholars enrolled in school across 18 leading universities. The graduation rate for Evans Scholars is 95% and there are currently 11,050 Evans Scholars Alumni. Help us make an impact on the foundation through the 2020 Evans Scholars Invitational.

In 1929, famed golfer Chick Evans Jr., asked the Western Golf Association to administer the fund he had established some years earlier to send deserving caddies to college. He could think of no finer organization to entrust his legacy and grow his vision. In 1930, the WGA awarded its first two scholarships to caddies Harold Fink and Jim McGinnis. They would attend Northwestern University, the same school where Chick Evans had studied.

The first Evans Scholarship House was established at Northwestern University in 1940. It is the Scholarship House concept — Evans Scholars living and learning together — that makes the program unique.
