NOTES
The BCCFA Scholarship was initiated many years ago by the full time faculty to honor our outstanding students. This scholarship is funded by the members of the faculty association. The Peterson scholarship was initiated several years ago by the adult children of JoAnne and DeWitt Peterson as a father’s day gift for him. Professor DeWitt Peterson retired from BCC after dedicating many years as a faculty member in the business division.
