Did you know that your teen’s summer job could lead to a full college scholarship?
Each year, more than 800 deserving golf caddies from across the country attend college on the Chick Evans Scholarship, a privately funded scholarship program. Supported by the Western Golf Association, the Scholarship provides full tuition and housing at leading universities across the country, including Indiana University, Purdue University and the University of Notre Dame. The requirements are straightforward: earn good grades, have a strong caddie record, demonstrate financial need and display outstanding character.
There are currently 106 Evans Scholars enrolled at Purdue University, Indiana University and the University of Notre Dame in addition to the 996 alumni from the universities.
Evans Scholars applications must have caddied regularly for a minimum of two years and are expected to caddie and/or work at their sponsoring club during the summer after they apply for the scholarship.
Caddying offers much more than a great summer job for Indianapolis young men and women, it could lead to a once-in-a-lifetime shot at a full college scholarship, valued at more than $80,000 over four years.
