BRAVER FAMILY HIGH PERFORMANCE SCHOLARSHIP DESCRIPTION & CRITERIA
The BRAVER FAMILY HIGH PERFORMANCE SCHOLARSHIP is awarded to an Oklahoma girl or boy who has proven themselves in USTA Missouri Valley play and exhibits strong potential in the game of tennis. This player has qualified for and has a desire to play in national level junior events. This player must exhibit strong character, sportsmanship, dedication, and love of the game.
This scholarship is NEED-BASED and will help to offset costs associated with tournament travel expenses (including transportation, meals, lodging) which might prevent players from being able to play tournament tennis without the aid of the scholarship. Funding will follow the guidelines of the OSSAA and NCAA amateurism specifications. The scholarship is up to $2,500.00. Eligible expenses incurred during the 12-month period after the date of the scholarship date will be reimbursed until the funds are exhausted.
Should the committee believe that there are no qualified applicants in any one year, they may elect not to award any scholarship funds that year. Recipients may apply for funding in a subsequent year. However, there is no guarantee that previous recipients will be approved for future scholarship.
APPLICANTS WILL PROVIDE:
- Parent/Guardian will provide most recent tax return (Page 1 and 2 of 1040 only)
- Official Academic Transcript
- Recommendation from Teacher/Counselor who knows applicant well
- Recommendation from applicant’s Personal Coach
- Copies of expense receipts will be required before the scholarship funds are reimbursed.
