The Christopher James Goughnour Scholarship

Honoring a Legacy of Service and Dedication

 

Chris was born in Brazil and lived with his U.S. Foreign Service family in several countries prior to graduating from high school and moving to the United States.

 

As a dual U.S.-Brazilian citizen, Chris cherished his international background but also took enormous pride in serving the United States in both the Navy and – after college – the Army. Chris served with distinction in Afghanistan as a highly decorated Army Ranger.

 

Chris was taken from this world in 2018, having suffered a heart attack while pursuing one of his greatest passions, deep-water diving. His memory lives on with his family, friends and the comrades in arms.
