Hyde County student receives first PAS Scholarship


A Hyde County student has received the first scholarship awarded from a donation from PAS to attend Beaufort County Community College this fall.

Chanta Gibbs, 28, of Fairfield, has been chosen for the award. She is a student in BCCC’s Associate Degree Nursing Program. A graduate of Mattamuskeet High School, she holds an associate’s degree in Human Services Technology. She is the daughter of Roy Gibbs of Manteo and Patricia Peterson of Engelhard. After completing her studies at BCCC, she plans to continue her education at East Carolina University.

“I am truly grateful for this scholarship,” she said.

PAS, or PRETTL Appliance Systems, located on 15th Street Extension in Washington, donated funds to the BCCC Foundation this year to provide a scholarship to help defray the costs of textbooks for a student. PAS manufactures and markets control panels for house hold appliances, primarily washers and dryers. PAS also has an ongoing relationship with BCCC in providing customized training for its employees.
