The Scholarship Information




The Name of the Scholarship Fund will be the W. Dean Taylor Memorial Scholarship Fund.

W. Dean Taylor was the founding father of NCABANA. He was an undertaker by trade but was passionate about blacksmithing. He and a few others met in the Winston Salem area and talked about forming a group, hence NCABANA was started. Dean was in his shop in 1985 when he had a massive heart attack and dropped dead. This scholarship was established in his memory.
