The Gene and Elaine Stevens Family Scholarship was established by the Stevens family in December 2017 for the purpose of assisting students in pursuit of post-secondary education. Gene and Elaine have two children, Scott and Susan. Both Gene and Elaine came from Henry County from families in the automobile industry. Elaine became a registered nurse, while Gene worked in the service department of a car dealership in Napoleon, Ohio for a couple of years, followed by his years of service in the U.S. Navy. From 1963-1977, Gene worked as a car salesman in Findlay, until he purchased his first dealership. Later, the Stevens opened Gene Stevens Honda in Findlay, which they owned and operated until their retirement in July of 2017.
