27 Ohio Caddies Earn College Scholarships January is a very important month for former caddies at golf clubs around Ohio. Every year the Evans Scholarship Foundation awards full housing and tuition college grants to deserving young men and women, who caddied at golf clubs that support the Evans Scholars Foundation. Each caddie must undergo a stringent application process including an oral interview in front of a selection committee. These interviews are normally held in person, but due to COVID they have been held virtually for the past two years. Every caddie has a unique story that reflects the scholarship’s four selection criteria: – – strong caddie record – – excellent academics – – financial need – – outstanding character These exceptional students will enter college in the fall of 2022, with all but one attending either Ohio State, or Miami University. Owen Roark from Cleveland has been accepted and chosen to attend Northwestern, the original home for the Evans Scholarship. The scholarship is valued at more than $120,000 over the four years of college and it is life changing for many of these worthy caddies. “These young men and women are part of an exceptional incoming class of new scholars from around the nation,” said WGA Chairman Joe Desch. “They represent what the Evans Scholars Program has been about since 1930.”
