"I want to thank the Lanes 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 Lane Endowment was established in 1997 in memory of Harold Alton Lane Jr. and in honor of Constance Lane Howard by their parents, Harold and Louise Lane. Scholarships are awarded annually to nursing or other associate degree students enrolled at BCCC.

The Lanes have been active in the civic affairs of the community for many years. Harold Lane was a member of the BCCC Foundation Board of Directors. Louise Lane was an active member of the Beaufort County Arts Council and was instrumental in the restoration of the now Washington Civic Center.
