Written by Phil Paquette | Fri, Aug 22, 2025


ELMSFORD, N.Y. (August 22, 2025) – The MGA Caddie Scholarship Fund is proud to announce the 2025-26 class of new caddie scholars. The class features 69 men and women representing 37 clubs and facilities in the Westchester area.

The 69 caddie scholars will attend 46 colleges and universities across the country this fall as they pursue their education. The group will join a highly deserving list of young men and women from the nine-county area who will receive financial aid from the MGACSF for the upcoming year.

“The challenges many of our scholars have had to overcome to achieve success are inspirational,” said Melissa Rimpici, the manager of the MGACSF. “Each of their stories are unique and we are honored to help them pursue their goals.”

A total of 214 scholars will receive a scholarship from the MGACSF for the 2025-26 academic year with a tuition commitment of more than $1.1 million.

“While sustaining high grades, navigating unique family dynamics, or perhaps carrying three jobs, the commitment to golf from these young men and women did not waver,” said Rimpici. “We are confident that as the MGACSF and our supporters rally for these individuals’ success, they will meet their goals, propelling them to greatness.”

The MGACSF has awarded more than $28 million in meaningful financial aid to over 3,100 young men and women in its 69 years of existence. Those eligible for the scholarship are students who caddie or work in service to golf at golf courses throughout Fairfield (Conn.), Bronx, Dutchess, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Sullivan, Ulster, and Westchester (N.Y.).
