World War I Remembrance Scholarship
The World War I Remembrance Scholarship is designated in support of West Virginia residents studying a major included in Shepherd University’s College of Business. This annually funded award was created in 2018 by John and Pam Boyle in tribute to John F. Fleming, a young farmer from Harpers Ferry, WV, who volunteered to serve his country during World War I. He was killed in action in France on October 13, 1918, less than one month before the November 11 armistice. On the 100th anniversary of his death and the end of World War I, John and Pam Boyle wished to honor this young patriot by creating a scholarship in his memory. The couple discovered Fleming’s grave in a Virginia cemetery that lies between Shepherdstown and their home in Ashburn, VA. Bearing distinctive marking, the young soldier’s tombstone caught their eye and inspired them to research more about his life and death. “He is someone whose sacrifice we wished to honor,” said Pam, who previously served as an officer in the United States Army and now works in information technology.
