COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIPS

ANNUAL SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

Mike Evans Family Foundation works to award annual college scholarships to graduating high school seniors who are hardworking and well-rounded but who may not have the opportunity to attend college because of financial reasons. Applications for our 2026-27 College Scholarship Program will open in April 2026.

Mike Evans and his wife, Ashli, believe that by helping students get a college education, they can make a real difference in their lives.

To Sponsor a Scholar, join our monthly donation program. We couldn’t give deserving students college scholarships without YOUR help! Whether you can give $25, $13, or $5 each month, it truly makes a difference.
