Harold and Shirley Shoup Reihman Scholarship Fund

Shirley Shoup Reihman and her husband, Harold Reihman hope to play a role in the lives of students at the University of Iowa College of Nursing, so they created a scholarship to be awarded annually.

Shirley Reihman earned her G.N. degree from Iowa in 1951. She was employed first as an obstetrical nurse and later as an operating room nurse and an industrial nurse. She and her husband moved to Connersville, Indiana in 1967, where Reihman served as a Red Cross volunteer, teaching home nursing and childbirth education classes.

“It is a privilege for my husband and me to grant this scholarship to The University of Iowa,” Reihman said. “I hope this scholarship is helpful to students and enriches the lives of those who receive it.”

Matching gift funds from Harold Reihman's employer, the Ford Motor Company, has augmented the fund, established through the University of Iowa Foundation in 1997 as part of the Nursing Centennial Campaign.
