“We created our Tennis Scholarship Program to support the scholastic tennis community by helping young players continue their education in college. Kansas City and St. Louis tennis communities are important to us because we’ve been working in these areas for decades. Our work for school districts, universities and municipalities on tennis court surfaces and new builds helped us become the region’s experts. While this is only our fourth year of the program, we’re already looking forward to supporting many more players work toward their educational goals,” explains Andy McConnell, marketing manager, McConnell & Associates.
To be eligible to receive a MAC Tennis Scholarship, students must be a high school senior and resident of Kansas City or St. Louis metro areas, attending college in the fall of 2019 and participate in a high school tennis program. Awardees are selected based on their academic achievement and a 500-word essay answering how their involvement in the high school tennis community impacted their academic and personal growth. The deadline to apply for the 2020 Tennis Scholarship Program will be announced soon.
“The application committee enjoyed reading applicants’ essays and learning how tennis has affected their lives. We’re looking forward to reviewing next year’s applications and choosing four more deserving students, like Alyson, Drake, Anna and Cameron,” says Justan Vaughn, sports division manager, McConnell & Associates.
