Scholarships established Carolina Telephone and Telegraph Company of Tarboro has established a scholarship program in the state's community college system for those hardest hit by the recession. Carolina Telephone President D. Wayne Peterson said his company considers the scholarship program an investment. "We are convinced that business and industry has to provide some assistance to make sure essential skill training is available to those who would work if they ahd the skills to compete in today's job market," Peterson said. Governor Hunt called the com pany's establishment of the scholarship program a benchmark in the kind of support that is needed from North Carolina's corporate community. Beginning this fall, Carolina Telephone will provide a total of 52 scholarships in each of the next two academic years (1963-84 and 1864-65) to students enrolled at the 26 com munity and technical colleges in the company's service area, including College of The Albemarle in Elizabeth City. The scholarships, worth (500 each. will be awarded to minority students and workers who have lost their jobs and are retraining for new skills. "The recession has aggrevated the already high unemployment in the eastern part of the state, especially among minority groups who historically have been economically disadvantaged," said Peterson, explaining why his company established the program. "We have stipulated that this scholarship program be primarily directed to minority groups, and to workers who have been displaced because of obsolete skills." Plumbing, Heating, A.C.
