The Beaufort
County Community College Foundation has chosen Michael Matthews of Chocowinity
to receive the BLB Scholarship to attend BCCC this fall.
Matthews, 48, is a student in BCCC’s Mechanical
Engineering Technology Program. A
graduate of Sherwood High School, Matthews is a veteran of the U.S. Navy.
Matthews is employed as the Front-of-the-House Manager and waiter at East Coast
Wings and Grill. He hopes to work as a machinist at a local industry after
completing his studies at BCCC. Matthews and his wife, Lisinda Flynn, live in
Chocowinity.
“I am
grateful to be provided with this scholarship award,” he said. “Hopefully one
day the opportunity will arise for me to repay your kindness with scholarships
to up-and-coming students.”
The BLB
Scholarship is funded by an endowment established by an anonymous donor in 2006
specifically to provide scholarships for students enrolled in an industrial
arts program at BCCC. To be eligible, recipients must have at least a 2.0
grade point average and demonstrate need.
