A Washington student has been chosen to receive James and Hannah Roberson Bagwell scholarship to attend Beaufort County Community College this fall.
Tony J. Krantz, 25, a student in BCCC’s Associate in Arts program has been chosen for the award. A graduate of Northside High School, Krantz is the son of Tony G. Krantz and Jo Ann Krantz of Washington. He is self-employed as a guitar teacher. He plans to continue his studies to earn a bachelor’s degree in music after graduating from BCCC.
“I want to thank the Bagwell family for their generosity,” he said. “Their gift will be of great help in paying my tuition.”
James F. and Hannah Roberson Bagwell worked with their family to establish the Roberson/Bagwell endowment with the Beaufort County Community College Foundation. James Bagwell, who passed away in November of 2005, served his country as a B-52 pilot during WWII and was an executive officer and manager of Roberson Enterprises. Hannah Bagwell remains extremely active in her church and community. Her joyful spirit is an encouragement to all who meet her.
The recipients of this award must be high school or GED graduates enrolled in a degree, diploma, or certificate program at BCCC, must demonstrate financial need and show academic promise.
