HISTORY OF THE SCHOLARSHIP
Created in 2000, the NUCA of Florida/Andrew Scott
Johnson Memorial Scholarship Foundation was formed
as a non-profit 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code
and was established in memory of the son of Scott
Johnson (Johnson-Davis), a two-time past president
of NUCA of FL (formerly UUCF). Tragically, Scott and
Robin Johnson’s nineteen- year old son Andrew “Andy”
Scott Johnson was killed in an automobile accident on
December 28, 1999. At the time, Andy was a sophomore
studying civil engineering at Vanderbilt University with
the hope of entering the family business.
Since the tragedy, the NUCA of FL/ Andrew Scott
Johnson Memorial Scholarship Foundation has
awarded $420,500 in scholarships to college
bound students of association members while
simultaneously forever memorializing a bright
young man. The annual bass tournament is the sole
revenue source for the foundation.
