A student pursuing a Practical Nursing degree has been chosen to receive a scholarship named in memory of James “Wyatt” Respess Blanks.
Bresha D. Ross, 20, has been chosen for the award. A graduate of Washington High School, Ross hopes to work in a doctor’s office or an area hospital after graduating from BCCC. She also plans to continue her education. Ross is employed at Kingdom Kids Academy as a receptionist. She is the daughter of Jennifer Ross of Washington. Ross and her husband, Wayne Sean Williams, live in Washington.
The James Wyatt Respess Blanks Scholarship is an award funded through the James Wyatt Respess Blanks Memorial Endowment, established with generous contributions from Wyatt’s friends and family after his death. Through the endowment, a scholarship will be awarded to a BCCC student pursuing an associate’s degree who has at least a 2.5 grade point average. If the student maintains their grade point average, the scholarship can be renewed for a second year.
