Five Los Angeles Students Awarded Evans Scholarships for Caddying Excellence
Five high school students from the Los Angeles area have been awarded the prestigious Evans Scholarship, which provides full housing and tuition grants to golf caddies. The recipients include Amaia Diaz and Marley Gomez from St. Mary’s Academy, Joel Arriaga Lopez and Sara Mejia from Compton Early College High, and Cesar Sierra from Salesian. The scholarship is valued at over $125,000 for four years and is awarded based on a strong caddie record, outstanding academics, financial need, and exceptional character. The Western Golf Association Caddie Academy, which trains these students, supports the scholarship program. This year, a record 1,260 caddies are enrolled in the program across 27 universities, continuing a tradition that has seen more than 12,000 caddies graduate as Evans Scholars since 1930.
