As part of its commitment to educating the public on the history of Texas tennis and inspiring youth through the lives of its Hall of Famers, the Texas Tennis Museum and Hall of Fame recently held it's annual scholarship contest. Four academic scholarships were awarded for the 2023-2024 academic year.
