The David Belk Cannon Family Scholarship (Transfer to Four Year University)

The late David Belk Cannon established this scholarship program to help students attend Gaston College and to continue their studies at a four-year institution. It was originally begun as a memorial to his wife, Rebecca Stearnes Cannon, and their two children, David Belk Cannon, Jr. and Rebecca Belk Cannon, who died tragically in a fire in 1964. The scholarship now also serves as a memorial to Mr. Cannon who died in 1998.
The recipients are selected based on merit and must maintain a 2.0 GPA. Gaston College graduates who received the David Belk Cannon Family Scholarship are eligible to apply for a renewable $2,000 award for continuing study at a four-year college or university.
