Isaac Blaine Smith CDL Scholarship

It was a wonderful tribute to Isaac Blaine Smith when his niece, Dr. Michelle Bass presented the Board of Trustees with a scholarship in his memory.

“Uncle Blaine was a truck driver all of his life,” said Dr. Bass. “He drove almost a million miles before he was forced to retire due to a disability. His nickname was ‘Running Empty’. This scholarship was established to honor his memory and his love of driving by helping other people achieve their dreams.”

The scholarship will support Carteret Community College students enrolled in the Commercial Driver’s License program, who are residents of North Carolina. For more information on the CDL program at Carteret CC visit www.carteret.edu.
