Platt Evans Scholarship

Since 2013, the GAP has partnered with the Western Golf Association and the Evans Scholars Foundation to offer caddies from our region a unique scholarship opportunity. Co-sponsored Platt Evans Scholarships cover tuition as well as housing in the Platt Evans Scholarship House – for four years – at Penn State University and the University of Delaware.

Residents of Pennsylvania who caddie at GAP-affiliated clubs and meet the eligibility requirements are welcomed to apply for the Platt Evans Scholarship at Penn State University.

Residents of Delaware who caddie at GAP-affiliated clubs and meet the eligibility requirements are welcomed to apply for the Platt Evans Scholarship at the University of Delaware.

To be eligible to apply, candidates must:
– Be rising high school seniors
– Have a strong caddie record
– Have a high level of financial need
– Be outstanding in character, integrity and leadership

This is a competitive scholarship with only a few places available each year. To be considered, candidates must complete
both the Platt application and the Evans application and undergo a formal interview.

This opportunity is only available to caddies – golf operations staff are not eligible.
