Culinary
Programs
Honored
The North Carolina Award of
Excellence was announced in No
vember by the National Restaurant
Association and the Vocational
Association. The hotel restaurant
and foodservice programs here at
the college have received the top
state award of excellence for 1988.
“This is the second time the college
has won the award,” said Bob
Johnston, director of hospitality
services. The programs won the
award in 1986, and in 1985 won
second place.
“WCC was judged against five
other culinary programs at post
secondary schools,” said instructor
Chris Cheap. “A large part of the
judging is based on the success of
graduates,” said Bob Johnston.
The programs have about 25 stu
dents but a high percentage are
very successful. Many students
from recent years have been placed
in supervisory or management posi
tions in Wilkes and surrounding
areas. Some have opened their
own businesses. Chris Cheap said,
“The award is an excellent reflec
tion on the programs; and 1 think it
reflects well on the students.”
In these programs, students can
earn two-year technical degrees in
hotel/restaurant management or
foodservice management. Students
operate the Tory Oak dining room
found on the bottom floor of the
Technical Arts Building for the
day care center here at the college.
Students are also given top priority

Financial Aid
Factsheet
Many financial aid opportuni
ties exist for students to attend
Wilkes Community College, but
for some reason many eligible stu
dents never apply. Some students
just assume that they will not be
eligible. Others think that they
cannot receive help because of the
low tuition costs. Only those that
apply for aid can receive assistance.
Most students completing the ap
plication process actually are ap
proved. Also, the funds received
can be used to help students meet
costs for housing, food, travel,
books, supplies and child care as
well as tuition. Students can receive
assistance from more than one
program to meet their needs.
What’s Available? Financial aid
programs available through the
college include grants, scholar
ships, part-time employment and
loans. See the list below for specific

Who’s Eligible? Awards are
made to students based on financial
need (living and educational costs
less family contribution) and aca
demic potential. Also, students not
