In St. Louis, he was associated with the Opera Theatre of Saint Louis, the St. Louis Science Center, the

This scholarship was created to reward students who have demonstrated academic excellence while maintaining involvement in extra-curricular, co-curricular, and community activities. Financial need is not a factor in the selection process.
