On December 28, 1999, UUCF Past President Scott Johnson lost his son Andrew "Andy" Scott Johnson at the age of 19 in a tragic automobile accident. In lieu of flowers, the Johnson family requested UUCF members, friends and family to make donations to the UCA of South Florida Scholarship Fund.
In an overwhelming response from individuals, more than $30,000 was collected. Scott Johnson spoke with the UCA of South Florida board members in regards to the funds collected. Due to UCA of South Florida having a self supporting Scholarship Fund, he suggested that a scholarship fund be set up under the name of the UUCF/Andrew Scott Johnson Memorial Scholarship Foundation. The money would be placed in a separate account and would be administered by Scott Johnson, his wife Robin and Andy’s mother Martha Kinsel. The issue was brought before the UUCF board members on February 4, 2000. It was Scott Johnson’s goal to have the scholarship fund in place and funds be distributed to the first recipient at the 2000 Annual Convention.
