college tennis scholarship and financial aid
The National Collegiate Athletic Association, ( NCAA ), and the
United States Lawn Tennis Association, (USLTA), were co sponsors of the
college tennis championship between 1938 to 1940.
The NCAA took over the running of the intercollegiate tennis championship
in 1941. Only singles and doubles championships took place and the
team championship was incorporated in 1946.
College women's tennis is classified as a "head Count" sport
by the NCAA which means that the
scholarships on offer are "full-ride
scholarships". On the other hand men's tennis is classified as an
equivalency sport which means that the tennis coach can divide the scholarship
quota between a larger number of players. Men's Tennis NCAA: Division I 4.5 scholarships per college Women's Tennis NCAA: Division I 8 scholarships per college
At many schools, tennis is also a club
sport, organized by students independently of the athletics department.
Club teams even coexist with varsity teams at a lot of colleges. |
