NATIONAL LINKS TRUST’S CADDIE PROGRAM

As part of the Jack Vardaman Workforce Development Program, our Junior Caddie program helps provides adolescents and young adults in the local community with valuable job and life skills they need for future academic and employment success. With each round our Junior Caddies loop, they build eligibilty for the Western Golf Association’s Evans Scholars Program - a life-changing full tuition and housing college scholarship. By taking a caddie, you are helping to change our caddies lives while experiencing our historic courses in a fun new way.

Our First Evans Scholar

Butheyna Dahmani was our first Evans Scholar through the Jack Vardaman Workforce Development Program. The Evans Scholarship, a Western Golf Association initiative, is a full housing and tuition college grant offered to deserving caddies. Butheyna was eligible for the Scholarship through her participation in the Vardaman Program, and she will attend one of the Evans Program’s 24 partner universities nationwide this coming fall.  Butheyna, a current senior in high school, grew up with a single mom and, thanks to the Vardaman Program and Evans Scholarship, will be the first in her family to attend college.

“During my childhood, money was the biggest issue in the family,” she says. “Money was something my family worked hard to earn to keep the lights on and food on the table. The last priority they had was education, and I am beyond grateful to have been afforded the opportunity and blessing to have the chance to have my college tuition paid for from my experiences as [a Vardaman Program intern and caddie].”
