Live Like Eli Scholarship Fund The Live Like Eli scholarship fund was created in memory of Eli Bussotti by his parents. Eli was a senior at Highlands High School when he tragically lost his life following a car accident. Eli had a genuine love for life and a deep love for those around him. Eli was remarkable in bringing people together. He was an organ donor who provided the gift of life to seven people as well as countless others through tissue donation. Eli’s parents hope that the recipient of this scholarship can work towards a path of bringing people together in harmony and in love, to ultimately make the world just a bit brighter.
