Scholarship For Students Like Andrew | Topeka News

A family in Overland Park is honoring their son Andrew Eveloff, who passed at 24 after living with congenital muscular dystrophy, by launching a scholarship fund at Johnson County Community College. Andrew faced disrespect during medical visits—often spoken to only by his parents—until he found dignity and support at JCCC, where he was even awarded a posthumous degree. His father, a doctor, was galvanized by Andrew’s experience to fight for disability rights, and now this scholarship will help five students annually, ensuring others feel seen, respected, and empowered to thrive. Andrew’s legacy lives on through his humor, resilience, and unwavering zest for life—turning his story into a beacon for inclusion in education.
