David Pugh
David Pugh, a long time supporter of Second Chance at Life, lost his life on February 27, 2025 at the age of 39. David’s family donated his corneas to help someone else see. In honor of our friend, the guy who knew everyone, we have established the Pugh Scholarship Fund.
The Pugh Scholarship is awarded to those individuals or family members of someone who is impacted by organ, eye or tissue donation. The scholarship encompasses organ, eye and tissue donation and their immediate family members. We recognize individuals based on achievement, leadership and community service.
This $2,500 scholarship is awarded to one individual that has immediately been touched by organ, eye or tissue donation either directly or indirectly. The scholarship will be open to high school seniors and current college students.
The scholarship funding will be made directly to the recipient’s college or university. The applicant must provide evidence of current enrollment to the college or university prior to receiving the reward. If evidence is not provided, the scholarship will be forfeited and will go to the next applicant.
All applications must be submitted by email to smorell@secondchanceatlife.org by June 1, 2021. The winner will be announced on June 14, 2021.
Along with the completed application the applicants must submit the following documentation:
