Oregon Students Receive Full Rides to College Through Caddying

Eleven Oregon students were recently awarded the WGA's Chick Evans Scholarship, a complete, four-year housing and tuition scholarship offered to high achieving golf caddies.

The OGA donates $1 for each OGA Member (who joins in a specific calendar year) to the Western Golf Association to help fund the Evans Caddie Scholarship Program in the state of Oregon.

Over the course of four years, the scholarship is worth an estimated $120,000. Each caddy's story is unique, reflecting the scholarship's four selection criteria: a good caddie record, exceptional grades, documented financial need, and exceptional character.

The Evans Scholarship is slated to be awarded to 315 caddies from across the country this year. Currently, a record 1,070 caddies are enrolled at 21 universities across the nation as Evans Scholars, and more than 11,500 caddies have graduated as Evans Scholars.
