A Chocowinity student pursuing an associate in arts degree at Beaufort County Community College received a scholarship established in memory of Colin Cratch Arnold.
Charlotte Yvonne Simpson, 45, was chosen for the award. A graduate of Plymouth High School, Simpson plans to pursue a bachelor’s degree from East Carolina University after completing her studies at BCCC. She has three children.
“Thank you for helping individuals like me achieve their goals by lessening their financial burdens,” she said.
Colin Cratch Arnold was born in Craven County on November 5, 1982 and died September 23, 2006 in Pitt County as a result of an automobile accident. He was the son of Robin Arnold and Greg Arnold, both of Washington.
Arnold lived in Grimesland and owned his own business, C & G Jungle Tamers.
He was completing his associate degree in the field of science at the time of his death. His family notes that Arnold was an avid reader and that his future vocational ambition was to pilot his own helicopter in exotic locales to support scientific research and for his own personal amusement.
The scholarship has been established by the Arnold family and friends.
