A Washington man has been awarded a scholarship from an endowment created in memory of a long-time supporter of the college - Lucille Edwards Carowan Dibble.
Richard D. Crisp, 28, of Washington, has been chosen for the award. Crisp is a student in BCCC’s Mechanical Engineering/Drafting and Design Program. A graduate of Washington High School, he hopes to find a job in the engineering field after completing his studies at BCCC. He and his wife, Sandra, have three children.
“Thank you on behalf of my whole family for this contribution to my education,” he said.
The Lucille Edwards Carowan Dibble Endowment was established in 2007 by her husband, Lewis M. Dibble, daughters Gladys Carowan Howell and Clarissa Carowan Phillips of Washington, Mary Carowan Mertz of Durham, and Martha Carowan Zito of Matthews, as well as support from Mrs. Dibble’s friends. It funds an industrial technology scholarship for a student attending BCCC.
Over the years, Mrs. Dibble was active in many civic and church activities. She played an important role in BCCC’s history. Mrs. Dibble chaired a $600,000 bond issue to fund capital improvements at then Beaufort County Technical Institute which included construction of the institute’s first library. For seven years, Mrs. Dibble also chaired BCCC’s College Parallel Committee which oversaw changes in the school’s curriculum which were needed during the transition from being a technical institution to becoming a community college.
