The U.S. Air Force awarded Glover a medal recognizing him for his outstand- ing civilian service. Both houses of the Ohio State Congress drafted resolutions recognizing Glover’s life and work. In 2004, Glover established the Waverly Glover Scholarship Fund through the African-American Community Fund (AACF) of The Dayton Foundation. “I grew up poor, not knowing how I was going to get to college,” Waverly Glover said. “I was very fortunate that the GI Bill helped me obtain my college degree. I want my scholarship fund to make it easier for others to do the same.” The scholarship assists African- American students pursuing a business or accounting degree at Central State or Wilberforce universities. Brother Waverly Glover is preceded in death by his parents, Frank and Lillian Glover, and brothers, Frank D. Glover, Harry H. Glover, Arnette D. Glover, and Wanda P. Dunson.
