A Chocowinity student, Holly W. Braddy, received the Linda Louise Penrod Scholarship to attend Beaufort County Community College this spring.
Braddy, 32, is a student in BCCC’s Practical Nursing Program. She hopes to work in Beaufort County as a nurse after graduating from BCCC. Braddy and her husband, John, have five children
“It has been my long-term goal to earn my nursing degree and this scholarship has given me the chance to achieve this goal,” she said. “It is with a grateful heart that I accept this award.”
Mr. and Mrs. Leland Penrod of Washington established the scholarship in memory of their daughter, Linda Louise, who died in infancy in July, 1958. The scholarship is designated for a practical nursing student who has completed at least one semester at BCCC and has a 3.0 grade point average.
The Penrods said they designated practical nursing for the scholarship because of the need for nurses in the area and they said they chose BCCC for the scholarship because of their high regard for junior and community colleges.
