A nursing student at Beaufort County Community College has been chosen to receive a scholarship funded by an endowment in memory of a long-time Washington minister and his wife.
Selected for the award was Christy Woolard House. A student in BCCC’s Associate Degree Nursing Program, House, 37, is a graduate at Washington High School. She also holds an associate’s degree in applied science. She is employed at Beaufort County medical Center as a Medical Laboratory Technician. House is the daughter of Bonnie and Linda Woolard of Washington. She and her husband, Sammy, live in Washington and have two children. After completing her studies at BCCC, House hopes to find a job in her field and continue her studies to become a nurse anesthetist.
“I want to thank the Hulbert family very much for helping me to pursue my dream,” she said. “It really means a lot to me and my family.”
The Irwin and Frances Hulbert Scholarship is funded by an endowment established by the Hulberts’ sons, Ned Hulbert of Harrisville, N.H.; Robin Hulbert of Peterborough, N.H., and David Hulbert of Wilmington, and their families and friends.
The Hulberts served Episcopal parishes and their larger communities in Jesup, Ga.; Hopkinsville, Ky., and Georgetown, S.C. before coming to Washington in 1965. They served St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Washington and Trinity Episcopal Church in Chocowinity for over 40 years.
Mrs. Hulbert served on the board of the Beaufort County Community College Foundation and sponsored numerous scholarships for technical, vocational, and nursing students through the foundation.
