In addition, scholarship opportunities are available from their involvement in our program.

Since 1990, 80 students have received the Evans Scholarship through PP&R’s EAGLE Caddie program. PP&R is proud of its long-standing partnership with the Evans Scholars Foundation and grateful for its support of the EAGLE Caddie Program.
