Larry Wexelman Memorial Scholarship

Since 2019, 28 scholarships have been given out in the amount of $27,150 to graduating seniors at Valley Park and Eureka High School in St. Louis, Missouri. My dad was a real life superhero and served as a guidance counselor at Valley Park High School in St. Louis, Missouri. His life's work revolved around being an advocate, voice, and support system for his students. He fought tirelessly for his student's futures and their opportunities for higher education. I created this scholarship to make sure his legacy continues. These scholarships create opportunities and relieve some of the burden on graduating high school seniors at Valley Park and my alma mater, Eureka High School. Education was one of the most important aspects of my dad's life, after his family, his students were a close second. I just want others to feel a fraction of the love and support my dad gave to his students. My dad served in the Marines during Vietnam and passed away in 2005.
