Evans had been sitting in the crowd talking to his father and one of his friends when an official from the Endowment Association approached him.
"I thought I was in trouble at first," he said. "My dad looked at me and was like, 'What did you do?'
Evans and the 24 other winners were escorted to the sideline and presented with their scholarships between the first and second quarters of the game.
"They almost started playing football with us in the end zone," said scholarship recipient Andrew Leopold, Wichita freshman.
Kelly Foerster, Topeka sophomore, was chosen for a scholarship as she entered the stadium.
She said she called her fiance, John, and her family to tell them her good news.
"We were kind of nervous about that."
"My grandparents and parents were there and they were all excited," Forester said.
Foerster said she hadn't received other scholarships for

Native-American show brings legends, tales to life
By Louise Stauffer
Kansan staff writer
The Lied Center hosted a group of Native-American performers Saturday night.
Vocal being. Micco Sekayoumasimpson Haskell Indian Nations University student, said he attended the event to support his culture.
Robert Mirabel and his band. RareTribalMob, performed Music From A Painted Cave, legends and stories from communities in Northern New Mexico showing a traditional lifestyle in modern times.
Tribal drums pulsed as Mirabel and fellow dancers danced and sang tales of encounters with warriors and mythical beings to a crowd of about 1,000. The crowd cheered as a dancer jumped through rings in a dance that expressed the power of the individual being.
Sekayoumasimpson said he had seen the event advertised all over Haskell's campus.
"It shows you the importance of cultural diversity. It's good to see this kind of talent in modern times."
Karen Christilles, associate director of the Lied Center, said the center tried to bring in culturally diverse performances.

Christilles said Mirabel's performance achieved the goal to make KU's campus more accessible to Haskell students. She said the performance was part of a civic program between the Lied Center and Haskell to engage both universities in dialogue involving social issues.
While she could not supply specific numbers, Christilles said there were more Haskell students present at Mirabel's event than at
other events at the center.
Mark Jackson, Ann Arbor, Mich., junior, said he had not heard of the event. He said even if he was aware of the event, he probably would not have attended it.
"It's just not something I'm interested in," he said.
Philip Schrodt, political science professor, said the performance was great because it was very different from what one often saw at the center.
at the center.
Schrodt said the University should try to do more with Haskell.
Donald Fixico, director of the Center for Indigenous Nations Studies, said the performance had been entertaining and relevant.
"It shows you the importance of cultural diversity," he said. "It's good to see this kind of talent in modern times."
