Martin Overholt

Martin Overholt has been awarded the BCCC Trustee Scholarship to attend Beaufort County Community College this fall.
Overholt, 55, of Pantego, is a student in BCCC’s Associate Degree Nursing Program. A veteran of the U.S. Coast Guard, Overholt plans to work for the Veteran’s Administration as a nurse after completing his studies at BCCC. He and his wife, Sarah, have two children.

“I thank the BCCC trustees very much for this scholarship that will allow me to further my education,” he said. “This award will help me to serve veterans, a deserving group of people.”

The BCCC Trustee Scholarship is awarded from an endowment established in 1996 by the BCCC Board of Trustees. It is awarded to a full-time student, enrolled in a curriculum program, who has demonstrated financial need and leadership ability and has a grade point average of 3.0 or above.
