Building Legacies and Lives at BCC
The Foundation of Brunswick Community College recently welcomed members of the St. James Service Club for a check presentation supporting the Christine Corrigan Trades Scholarship Endowment. Established through the generosity of the St. James Service Club and named in memory of Christine Corrigan, the scholarship honors her legacy while helping students build bright futures.
The scholarship is available to Brunswick County students pursuing careers in the skilled trades, including both graduating high school seniors and adult learners returning to education. Recipients must be enrolled in programs that provide specialized skills training and hands-on experience, with the goal of helping strengthen Brunswick County's workforce.
Following the presentation, club members toured BCC's Welding Technology lab, where they saw firsthand how students are developing the practical skills needed for rewarding careers in the trades.
Thank you, St. James Service Club, for your generosity and for contributed to student success at BCC.
