Celebrate the memory of Gabe Trujillo with a gift to his annual scholarship!
The Gabriel Trujillo '16 Annual Scholarship Fund was established at Lake Forest College in 2024 to commemorate Gabriel "Gabe" Trujillo, who died in June 2023. Gabe was a cherished friend and classmate who was deeply passionate about nature, culture, and science.
In honor of Gabe's intellectual curiosity and passions, we invite you to celebrate his life and legacy by contributing to this fund. With the funds collected, an annual scholarship will be awarded to a student for the 2024–25 academic year majoring in environmental studies or biology.
In addition to the annual scholarship, remaining funds will be used to dedicate a bench in Gabe's honor. Your donation will help continue his spirit of exploration and discovery at Lake Forest College.
Thank you for considering this opportunity to honor Gabe's memory.
