Hux Memorial Scholarship established at HCC

Emery and Yvonne Doughtie have established the Rev. and Mrs. Daniel Hux Memorial Scholarship this year. The scholarship will benefit an HCC nursing student. Selection is based on program of study, a 3.0 grade point average, financial need and community involvement.

Rev. Hux, a native of Darlington, founded churches in the area and was a major proponent of education. He started Community Center Baptist Church, Darlington Baptist Church, South Rosemary Baptist Church, and re-established Quankie Baptist Church. “He really loved this area,” added Yvonne Doughtie.

“Also, we have a granddaughter who is a nurse and a graduate of the college so that’s the reason we wanted to focus on the nursing program,” explained Peggy Haskins, mother of Yvonne Doughtie.

For more information on establishing a scholarship, contact the HCC Foundation Office at (252) 536-7239.
