Dr. Keith Cannon was a communications professor at Wingate University for 25 years. During that time, he mentored and taught thousands of students, earning the loving nickname of Doc.

He has always said that if he won the lottery, he would want to fund scholarships.

He lost his battle to cancer on Feb. 4, 2019. His endowment fund was fully funded as of Feb. 2, 2019. But we are not done fundraising!

The Dr. Keith Cannon Endowment Scholarship aims to create opportunities for students to attend Wingate. This scholarship is specifically for:

1. Students from North or South Carolina.

2. Students who major in communications.

3. Students with a financial need.

Thank you for your support and for helping us honor Doc's legacy!
