Dr. John C. Cate IV STEM Scholarship Fund

All proceeds from this fund will go to support the Dr. John C. Cate IV STEM Scholarship, which aims to honor the life of Dr. John C. Cate, IV, by supporting students who share his passion for STEM subjects and making college more accessible for them. John Columbus Cate, IV, September 27, 1942–August 6, 2024 Dr. John C. Cate, IV, was a beloved husband and father, and a dedicated physician who had a lifelong passion not only for medicine but also for many other fields of science, including physics, chemistry, astronomy, and neuroscience. He was particularly fascinated by the discovery of the double-helix structure of DNA. As a high school student, John received a scholarship that helped him pursue his dream of studying science in college. John’s surviving family members would like to provide a similar opportunity in his memory to two high school students in his home state of Tennessee.
