Victoria B. Tyson has been chosen to receive the scholarship awarded from contributions to an endowment at Beaufort County Community College by residents of Cypress Landing.
Tyson, 41, of Chocowinity, is studying computer programming at BCCC. A graduate of Washington High School, she is employed by United Way of Beaufort County. Tyson hopes to find a job in her field after completing her studies at BCCC. She has one child.
“Thank you very much helping me and my family,” she said.
In 2007, the Cypress Landing Homeowners Association raised money among its members to create a $5,000 endowment to provide a scholarship for a student to attend BCCC. Since that time, the endowment has grown to more than $15,425 thanks to generous contributions from the association’s members. Mrs. Helen Sommerkamp and Mr. Chris Harris lead the initial effort to organize the campaign. This scholarship is awarded to a BCCC student living in Beaufort County and who demonstrates need.
