Barbara Jackson was selected to receive the Tayloe Memorial Scholarship to attend BCCC this fall.
Jackson, 57, is a student in BCCC’s Practical Nursing Program. A graduate of Washington High School, Jackson is employed as a broker/realtor at Coldwell Baner Coastal Rivers Realty in Washington. She and her husband, Luke Jackson III, have two children. After graduating from BCCC, Jackson hopes to get a job in her field either in a local doctor’s office, hospital or home health agency. She also hopes to continue her studies.
“Without the help from this scholarship, it would have been a financial hardship for me to continue with my goal of becoming a nurse,” she said. “Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
The Tayloe Memorial Scholarship is funded from an endowment begun in 2003 by Mrs. Sam Tim Carter, with encouragement from her children Libba, Lou, Clay, and Mary. The endowment memorializes Mrs. Carter’s grandfather, Dr. David Thomas Tayloe and honors his numerous descendants who have made significant contributions to the medical community of Beaufort County. Scholarships generated by this endowment are awarded to BCCC students enrolled in any medically related program.
