2007 Evans Scholars Announced

In 1930, the WGA became the sponsor of the Evans Scholars Program, which was established by and named for Chicago golf great Charles “Chick” Evans Jr. The Foundation has awarded full tuition and housing scholarships to 15 caddies from the state of Indiana for the 2007-2008 school year.

Chick wanted to give something back to the game of golf, and his dream became a reality in 1930 when the first two caddies attended Northwestern University. Today, the Evans Scholars Foundation administers the nation’s largest privately funded college scholarship program. Each grant consists of full tuition and housing and is renewable for up to four years. Most Evans Scholars also live in a campus Scholarship House with other Evans Scholars attending that university. The Foundation owns and maintains Evans Scholarship Houses at 14 universities.

The Foundation has awarded full tuition and housing scholarships to 15 caddies from the state of Indiana for the 2007-2008 school year. To apply for an Evans Scholarship, caddies must fulfill four requirements:
1.) strong caddie record; 2.) excellent academics; 3.) demonstrated financial need; 4.) outstanding character.

These are the 15 outstanding caddies from Indiana receiving this scholarship award for the 2007-2008 school year:
