A future nurse from Swan Quarter has been chosen to receive a scholarship to attend Beaufort County Community College from an endowment established by East Carolina Bank in honor of its past president.
Chosen for the award was Jordan Leigh Dunbar, a student pursuing an associate’s degree in general education at BCCC. Dunbar is a graduate of Pungo Christian Academy and is employed at O’Neal’s drug Store. She hopes to continue her studies as an associate degree nursing student and work at a local hospital after completing her studies at BCCC.
“I would like to thank East Carolina Bank very much for making this scholarship possible,” she said. “It gives me motivation to try my hardest in everything I do.”
The endowment was established in honor of Art Keeney, former president and chief executive officer of East Carolina Bank, and his wife, Alice, Hyde County planner. The Keeneys have been active in civic affairs in Hyde County and eastern North Carolina since moving to the area from Baltimore, Md. Among many civic activities, Art Keeney is a member of the BCCC Foundation Board of Directors.
