The Officer Tamarris Bohannon Memorial Scholarship was created in 2021 to honor the life and legacy of police officer Tamarris Leon-Wesley Bohannon. Officer Bohannon lived in and served the St. Louis community his entire life, formally serving as an esteemed officer in District 2 of the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department for three and a half years. Officer Bohannon's life was tragically cut short on August 30, 2020 while he was responding to a call for help in the Tower Grove South neighborhood. He is deeply missed every day and his legacy lives on through his wife Alexis, three children, and family. The scholarship fund was created to support St. Louis students pursuing degrees that will lead to careers in Law Enforcement, Criminal Justice, Social Work, Human Services, Firefighting, or Emergency Medical Services (EMT or Paramedic).
