Larry D Parker Sr. was a beloved Navy Veteran, husband of over 40 years, father of four, grandfather of six, and a MR2 Machinist with a journeyman license.
Larry was a hardworking man, raising three boys and a girl. He taught at North County Technical School and worked for GKN, a Boeing supplier. He was a good and proud man. He didn't believe that four-year universities were the only way to go. This scholarship seeks to create an opportunity for students who aren’t a match for universities but still want to learn a trade and work. Larry D Parker Sr.’s Legacy Scholarship will honor the amazing legacy Larry left behind by continuing to give back the way he did.

Award checks will be sent to the financial aid office of the winner's academic institution or future academic institution in their name to be applied to their tuition, and in the name of their institution (depending on the school's requirements). If the award is for a qualified educational non-tuition expense, we will work with the winner directly to distribute the award and make sure it goes towards qualified expenses.
Before we award the scholarship, the winner will be required to confirm their academic enrollment status. Depending on the circumstances, verification of Student ID and/or their most recent transcript will be required.
