High School Caddie Wins Full-Ride Scholarship

HAMPTON BAYS, NY — A Hampton Bays High School senior who's a familiar face on the local green has earned a full-ride scholarship, the district said.

Senior Aidan Kamp will be attending the University of Michigan College of Literature, Science and the Arts on a full-tuition and housing scholarship granted to him by the Evans Scholars Foundation, the Hampton Bays Union Free School District said.

Kamp earned the Chick Evans Scholarship for Caddies for his "outstanding academics, character and strong caddie record — he has been employed as a caddie at the Shinnecock Hills Golf Club for the past four years," the district said.

When not caddying, Kamp plays golf outside of school and with his school’s golf team. During the 2018 to 2019 school year, he was named Leader of the Game for golf. He also plays on his school’s baseball team and is involved in the Future Business Leaders of America and National Honor Society.

Aidan plans to study criminal law in college with the goal of attending law school.
