Mentors 4 College is a nonprofit organization that provides completely free resources; we want to make sure you are aware of these resources. Our program provides highly trained, nationally vetted volunteer mentors who work one-on-one with students--and their parents when possible--to support them as they are making post high school plans. What sets us apart is our commitment to building long-term relationships that center on the needs of the entire family, ensuring alignment and confidence in every student’s decision. We work alongside school counselors, not in place of them, aiming to create a seamless and strengthened support system. Our goal is to enhance the support and information students receive from counselors, administrators, teachers and coaches at school.

It is important to note, our support is inclusive, accessible, and 100% free—students are welcomed regardless of academic background, financial situation, or where they live. All mentoring takes place virtually to ensure safety, flexibility, and reach. In addition to mentoring services, we host live webinars. The webinars are 30 minutes and begin at 7:00 pm Central Time. Registration is required for each webinar.

Attention Seniors! Many of you are in the process of submitting college admissions and scholarship applications--congratulations on completing an important step in the process! Another step may be participating in an interview as part of the process for admissions or awarding scholarships. Mentors 4 College has volunteers who will help you prepare for these interviews. Go to mentors4college to sign up to be paired with a volunteer to do mock interviews so you are ready for your official interviews with college personnel. Click on the ‘Got A Quick Question’ button. When you fill out the contact form, be sure to indicate that you want to practice interviewing skills.

Evans Scholarship

The Evans Scholarship is a full tuition and housing college scholarship awarded to high-achieving golf caddies with limited financial means. The estimated value of a four-year Evans Scholarship is $125,000. If there is an interested FRESHMAN ---male or female --- please contact Augie Bunten at 636-578-3344 or Mike Healey at 636-346-5709 for additional information no later January 2026. They will likely take the first 30 responses who look like they satisfy the financial and academic requirements at this time; others will be added to a wait list in case we still have openings on area club caddie rosters
