McAuley Announces Two Evans Scholars from Class of 2022

Mother McAuley is pleased to announce that two members of the Class of 2022 have received the prestigious Evans Scholarship. Anna Fagan and Grace Novick will attend the University of Illinois - Chicago. 

"Anna and Grace emulate the characteristics of a McAuley graduate, and their passion and commitment to their academics and caddie programs have been recognized. We are proud of their accomplishments, receiving the Evans Scholarship, and their future collegiate pursuits," said Eileen O'Reilly, Principal of Mother McAuley.

Fagan and Novick join more than 100 other Chicagoland recipients of the Evans Scholarship for their strong caddie record, excellent academics, demonstrated financial need, and outstanding character. The Evans Scholarship is valued at more than $120,000 over four years.

Fagan attended St. Christina for elementary school and caddies at Ridge Country Club.

Commenting on Fagan's commitment as a caddie, Thomas Haffner, Ridge Country Club, remarked, "Anna is one of the most persistent and quietly confident caddies—and people—that I know. Resilient and not afraid of new experiences, Anna is everything a teacher, coach, or caddie manager could ever want in a young person; I would lay odds that most of us look back on our younger selves and wish we were more like her. It was no surprise that Anna won the Evans Scholarship; her work on the course and in the classroom has been fantastic, and to know Anna is to know that one day she will be successful in the field she chooses."

Novick attended Most Holy Redeemer for elementary school and caddies at Beverly Country Club.

Commenting on Novick's commitment as a caddie, John Ross, Beverly Country Club, said, "she is an excellent, hard-working caddie who is not just there for herself. She is great with the other young female caddies."
