HTA is accepting applications for several college scholarships to be granted to graduating seniors in the greater Houston area.
The scholarships, which range from $1,000 to $2,000, will be awarded to high school students who have participated in high school varsity tennis and/or USTA Texas tournaments or programs. (Students attending college on a tennis scholarship are not eligible to apply.)
In addition to HTA contributions, money for the scholarships has been provided by HTA National Junior Tennis & Learning, the National Senior Women’s Clay Court Championships (for a young woman), the Steve Wolford Memorial Scholarship Fund, Sean Rudolph Memorial Scholarship Fund, World Oilman’s Tennis Tournament Scholarship Fund, the Copperfield Racquet Club Scholarships, GFT Charity Inc., the HLTA Mary Gaines Memorial Fund, the LeMaster Husband & Wife Tournament Scholarship, the Fayez Sarofim & Co. U.S. Men’s Clay Court Championships and West Houston Ladies Tennis Association.
Selection of students will be based on tennis participation, academic record, a personal letter explaining why the student deserves the scholarship, extracurricular and volunteer activities and two letters of recommendation. In addition, parent or guardian tax information is required for need-based applications.
The deadline to apply is April 22. Download the application here.
HTA has awarded more than $300,000 in scholarship funds to deserving high school seniors since 1992.
