The check represents the proceeds from a Safari Club International fundraiser held in May benefiting the Master Sergeant Evander Andrews Memorial Scholarship. Andrews served as an airman at Fort Leonard Wood and was killed on Oct. 10, 2001, the first service member to die in Operation Enduring Freedom. The scholarship will provide one or more annual awards to degree-seeking undergraduate students enrolled at Columbia College–Fort Leonard Wood. This is the first Columbia College scholarship available to children of combat veterans.
