Scholarship Opportunities for Tennis at HBCUs

Hey folks, I’m a high school junior and a pretty serious tennis player. I’ve been exploring options for playing in college and I'm really interested in the culture and community at HBCUs. Does anyone know if HBCUs offer tennis scholarships? And if they do, what would be the recruitment process or who should I get in touch with?

Absolutely, HBCUs do offer athletic scholarships for sports like tennis, and it's great to hear you're considering these institutions! To navigate the recruitment process, I'd recommend starting by identifying the HBCUs with tennis programs that you're interested in. Once you have your list, reach out to the coaches of those teams directly. You can usually find contact information on the school's athletics website.

Send them an introductory email with your athletic resume, which includes your playing history, rankings, and any notable wins or achievements. Moreover, if you can, include a video highlight reel showcasing your tennis skills. Additionally, keep your high school coach in the loop since they can be a valuable advocate for you. Lastly, make sure you're registered with the NCAA Eligibility Center, as this will be a necessary step in the recruitment and scholarship process. Keep honing your game and good luck with your journey toward college tennis!
