After working as a caddie, a Beaverton student will receive a full ride scholarship for college.
Southridge High School senior Elsie Bradford, 18, was awarded the Western Golf Association s Chick Evans scholarship, a full, four-year housing and tuition scholarship. The scholarship is valued at an estimated $120,000 over four years.
The funds come mostly from contributions by 32,500 golfers across the country, who are members of the Evans Scholars Par club program, according to the WGA.
Bradford was one of 12 Oregon students to receive the honor.
