Football and Men's and Women's Basketball are not sports eligible for the Bryan Scholarship.

If interested, please speak with your sports-specific coach ASAP. The deadline is Sept. 27 which must include a letter of recommendation.

There are so many career paths, so why pursue the teaching profession? It’s a challenging profession. There are easier pursuits.

Why teaching? Because the pursuit of teaching is the pursuit of excellence. The pursuit of honing a craft and perfecting a science. Because excellent teachers are not just born, they are developed, equipped, and trained. Unlike other professions, success isn’t measured by achieving a sales goal or meeting a deadline. Success in teaching is measured by ensuring the success of others, by changing the course of a life.

So why Teaching Fellows? Because here in North Carolina, it’s not just about choosing a career that makes a difference, it’s about being equipped and trained to make that difference for the students that need it most.

The need is great. The challenges are real. But so it the opportunity and the reward. The opportunity to ensure that every student in North Carolina receives an excellent education that equips them for success. The reward of changing lives.

This scholarship was created in memory of Tammy Wilkinson by the WAM (Women About Missions) at Center View Baptist Church in Maiden, NC. Tammy was not only a beloved member of CVBC, she was also a member of the Lincoln/Catawba County communities and was loved by all who knew her. Tammy had a love for children that couldn't be disguised. You could always find her helping in the nursery, children's church, VBS, and many other ministries of the church. Our children also loved Tammy because they knew she loved them.

To honor her legacy, we wish to award a $1000 scholarship to a student who is serious about pursuing a field of study revolving around children and making their lives brighter and better, i.e. teaching, nursing, pediatrics, child psychology, etc....
