Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Fearrington

My family has a tradition with NC State University. My great-grandfather and grandfather learned farming methods through the NCSU Extension Service. My father went to State (CALS 1942). I graduated from State (CSC 1973) and our son (CCEE 2012) also is a graduate of State. Much of my and my family’s success I attribute to the great education that we received from State.
Both Barbara and I believe that it is important to attract students into the engineering and technology fields of study.

Impact

There are many students in Chatham County that do not have the financial resources to attend NC State. We hope the recipient of the scholarship would be someone who without this award would not be able to attend a great university, NC State.
