Evin B. Hartsell Foundation Gift Establishes Endowed Memorial Scholarship
Thanks to a generous $25,000 gift from the Evin B. Hartsell Foundation, the Evin B. Hartsell Endowed Memorial Scholarship has been established in CBCS. The scholarship will support students participating in the Interdisciplinary Training Program of the Florida Center for Inclusive Communities, which provides instruction and mentorship to students by faculty and staff who are nationally recognized in the field of developmental disabilities.
The scholarship was created in memory of Evin B. Hartsell, who was born with congenital merosin-deficient muscular dystrophy, a rare form of muscular dystrophy. Evin was an avid power-soccer player and singer, attended college and earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees, and posthumously became a published author. Proceeds from his book, “Abled in a Disabled World,” will continue to fund the Evin B. Hartsell scholarship and is available for purchase through the Evin B. Hartsell Foundation website. Read more.
