MOREHEAD CITY — Students wanting to pursue a truck driver training program at Carteret Community College but wondering if they can afford it will soon be able to get financial aid thanks to a donation from the family of a late commercial truck driver.

Dr. Michelle and Chris Bass of Nashville donated $10,500 to the CCC Foundation on Tuesday to establish the Isaac Blaine Smith Commercial Driver’s License Scholarship Endowment.

Dr. Bass said she wanted to establish the scholarship in memory of her late uncle, Isaac Blaine Smith, who was a truck driver.
