The Beaufort County Community College Foundation is proud to announce the following scholarship recipients for the Fall 2021 semester. Registration is still open for 14-week classes and 8-week Late Start classes. While the Beaufort Promise covers all tuition and fees through May 2023, students can apply for scholarships to cover the cost of textbooks.
Shana Barnes, 42, received the Dr. Nancy Alford Memorial and the Doris W. Eakes Scholarships. The Chocowinity resident is part of the licensed practical nursing program. She attended Washington High School, and she has plans to pursue nursing in the future. Barnes is currently employed at Vidant Beaufort Hospital.

Established in 2018 by the BCCC community in memory of instructor Joseph Alford's mother, Dr. Nancy Alford, this scholarship provides educational opportunities for students demonstrating financial need. Dr. Nancy Boylan Alford was the owner and operator of Carriage House Psychological Associates in Roanoke Rapids. Dr. Alford and her husband Reverend John B. Alford Jr. spent 57 years together. The Alfords want to keep her memory alive and foster the students who feel a sense of purpose by helping others. Scholarships are made available, but not limited, to students in the fields such as psychology, sociology, human services technology, and nursing.
Doris Wallace Eakes, originally from Beaufort County, started this endowment to memorialize her father, Carmer Wallace, and her husband Joseph Eakes.
