Michael Lilley was recently awarded the Albert Jowdy Memorial Scholarship to attend Beaufort County Community College this fall.
Lilley, 32, of Washington, is pursuing an associate’s degree in Electrical Engineering Technology. A graduate of Washington High School, he hopes to obtain a job in his field after completing his studies at BCCC. Lilley has one child.
“I want to thank the family and friends of Albert Jowdy from the bottom of my heart,” he said. “This financial blessing will be put to good use.”
The Albert Jowdy Endowment was established in 1991 by family and friends in memory of Albert Jowdy, a longtime resident of Washington. Jowdy was a charter member of the Washington Jaycees and owned a radio and appliance sales and service business on Main Street for many years. Jowdy got his start in the business repairing radios in his brother’s store.
