Carmen Jennette has been chosen to receive the Dorothy and John Tankard Memorial Scholarship to attend Beaufort County Community College this spring. Jennette, 50, of Belhaven, is a student in BCCC’s Business Administration Program. A graduate of Ayden-Grifton High School, she hopes to work in a local bank after completing her studies at BCCC. She has two children.
Funds for the scholarship were raised at the Seventh Annual Cutthroat Croquet Tournament held in Bath in May. Additional proceeds from the tournament were designated for the Historic Bath State Historic Site to make improvements to its historic properties.
The scholarship is awarded annually to a BCCC student living in the Bath or Belhaven area. Dorothy “Dot” Tankard was dedicated to the preservation of Historic Bath and served as director of the Bath Historic Site for many years. John Tankard was a member of the BCCC Board of Trustees from 1980 through 1990.
