Patricia Pogodzinski awarded Pablo Aguilar, Jr. Memorial Scholarship
Pablo Aguilar, Jr. personified ChairScholars motto, “no physical impairment should deter a motivated mind.” Pablo was born with multiple pterygium syndrome, a debilitating spinal condition. But Pablo never let this stop him. He excelled in school, volunteered in his community and even obtained his driver’s license.
We had the privilege of awarding Pablo a scholarship in 2000. He attended the University of Florida for a year before his passing on July 7, 2001.
