Shannon Pake

Pake, 35, of Washington is a student in BCCC’s Associate Degree Nursing Program. A graduate of Washington High School, she plans to work as a registered nurse while pursuing a bachelor’s degree after graduating from BCCC. She and her husband, Spencer, have three children.

“I want to thank the Washington Women’s Club for their generosity in providing students with the opportunity to pursue their dreams,” she said. “For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to be a nurse.”

The scholarship is awarded through the Washington Woman’s Club Endowment, established in 1999. The fund provides an annual scholarship to a second year nursing student living in Beaufort County. Recipients must have a 3.5 grade point average or better and be willing to work in Beaufort County for one year after they graduate from the nursing program.
