Empowering Youth
Through Education
Building brighter futures for children in underserved communities
through quality education, mentorship, and opportunity.
Welcome To Our Mission
Welcome to the Shipley Family Foundation, where education transforms lives and builds stronger communities. Founded in 1997 by the late Barbara and Dr. Anthony Shipley alongside their daughter Dr. Cornelia Shipley Bearyman, our foundation carries forward a profound commitment to educational excellence and opportunity.
We believe that every student deserves access to quality education, and through our scholarships, financial aid, and institutional support, we work to remove barriers and open doors to academic achievement.
