A future nursing student has been
chosen to receive the third Dorothy and John Tankard Memorial Scholarship to
attend Beaufort County Community College this year.
David Jimenez, 42, of Bath, is
enrolled in courses to prepare for admission to BCCC’s Associate Degree Nursing
Program. Jimenez attended Bryan High School in Bryan, Texas, and subsequently
earned his high school equivalency degree. After graduating from BCCC, he plans
to work as a nurse in an emergency room or trauma center while continuing his
studies.
“This scholarship is not only a
tremendous help in continuing my education at Beaufort County Community College
but validation for all the work and sacrifice I’ve made going to college for
the first time,” he said. “This has been a life-long dream of mine to become a
registered nurse and this scholarship brings me much closer to making it a
reality.”
Funds for the scholarship are raised
during the BCCC Foundation’s Annual Cutthroat Croquet Tournament held in Bath
in May. Additional proceeds from the tournament were designated for enhancing
the Historic Bath State Historic Site.
The scholarship is awarded annually to a BCCC student living
in the Bath
