Evans Scholars Foundation.

The distance from here to there is a college scholarship.

The Chick Evans Caddie Scholarship is a full tuition and housing college scholarship for golf caddies that is renewable for up to four years. Since 1930, more than 10,000 outstanding young men and women caddies have attended some of the nation’s finest universities thanks to the Evans Scholarship.

The Evans Scholars Foundation owns and operates a Scholarship House at 14 universities across the nation, including Northwestern University, the University of Illinois and the University of Colorado. On each campus, the Scholars have earned a reputation for excellence in academics and community service.

The Program, sponsored by the Western Golf Association, is one of the largest privately funded scholarship programs in the nation and was the vision of Chicago golf amateur Charles “Chick” Evans, Jr.

Caddies must be nominated by their sponsoring country club. Applicants are evaluated and compete on four core criteria – caddie record, academics, financial need and character and leadership – for the limited number of available Evans Scholarships. More than 200 high school students earn the Evans Scholarship each year, and more than 800 Scholars are in school.  

In addition to being the sole charity of the BMW Championship, more than 100,000 golfers nationwide support the Program, making it one of golf’s favorite charities. Learn more at:
