\u201cMr. Johnson\u2019s role as a governor’s appointee to the Council on Aging motivated him to want to establish this scholarship,\u201d NCC Vice President of Advancement Pam Ballew said. \u201cHe feels that so much is being done in the way of research, and he wants to provide assistance for caregivers who\u00a0are training to<\/span>\u00a0work with geriatric patients, especially individuals living with dementia.\u201d<\/p>\n

A longtime friend of the college, Mr. Johnson established the Charles M. Johnson-Improved Order of Red Men, Apache Tribe 2 Scholarship in 1987, the Evelyn G. and Charles M. Johnson Honorary Scholarship\u00a0in<\/span>\u00a02010 and the\u00a0L. A. and Mamie Ford Johnson\/Jessie and Sally Harper Gay Scholarship in 2011.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr. Johnson was\u00a0also\u00a0<\/span>instrumental in securing the naming rights of\u00a0NCC\u00a0<\/span>Building B\u00a0as\u00a0“Benvenue Hall”\u00a0<\/span>and the Benvenue Alumni Association Scholarship Fund in 2016. Benvenue High School was the original campus of Nash Technical Institute in 1967.<\/p>\n
