Scholarship Criteria:

Harley F. Shupert Sr. was born January 4, 1912 in Adams County, Ohio near West Union. Harley received his teaching credentials in 1932 and in 1946 he received a Bachelor of Science in education from Wilmington College.
In 1932, Harley embarked upon a teaching career that started in a one-room school in Adams County. Over the next 43 years, Mr. Shupert would teach school in Madison, Ross, Brown, Scioto, and Gallia Counties in Ohio. For 22 years, Mr. Shupert taught in the Portsmouth City Schools District at Garfield and Lincoln Elementary.
After working for two years as a principal at Southwestern High School in Gallia County, he retired from the State of Ohio in 1968. Upon his retirement, Harley still continued teaching. For the next seven years, Mr. Shupert taught at Lynn and McKell Elementary Schools in Greenup, Kentucky.
Harley married Lula Faye Black on June 30, 1934, and together, they raised six children - John, Barbara, Harley Jr., Kenneth, Dale, and Beverly. Because of their father's love of education and children, five of the six worked in the education field.
Why did the Shupert children create this fund? They wanted to establish a memorial to their parents. According to Mr. John Shupert, "this was a way to give back to the community through education and my father loved both education and children."
The Harley F. Shupert Scholarship Fund will provide scholarship assistance for a worthy high school graduate of Scioto County, Ohio entering a field of study in either teaching or health care.
