Scholarship Opportunities

Every year Nakoma Golf Club members back the commitment to the Club’s Caddie program by generously contributing to one or more of the following scholarship programs.

Every Nakoma caddie who reaches 25 “loops” each season will automatically receive $15 per loop (retroactively and going forward) which will be set aside in that caddie's college education fund. High school students can build this account over multiple years. 

The Nakoma Foundation also sponsors Foundation Merit Scholarships, which range from $500 to $3,000. Caddies may submit an application for these coveted scholarships which are awarded to top performers from Nakoma's employee and caddie ranks. 

In 2025, 18 Nakoma caddies qualified for Loop Credit Scholarships totaling $7,500. Additionally, 7 Nakoma caddies were awarded Foundation Merit Scholarships totaling $5,300 for the 2025 season.

Evans Scholarships are awarded to the cream of the crop of caddies employed throughout the United States. These scholarships are awarded on a combination of commitment to caddying during high school, GPA, ACT/SAT scores, and financial need. Evans Scholars receive four years of free room and tuition at one of over 24 prestigious Universities throughout the nation (including The University of Wisconsin – Madison and Marquette). We have been fortunate to have twelve of our top Nakoma G.C. caddies receive the Evans Scholarship over the last thirteen years.

These tremendous scholarship opportunities represent an important component to Nakoma Golf Club’s commitment to its employees and the community at large. They are a sampling of the countless benefits and life-lessons available to you as a caddie at Nakoma Golf Club
