HBCU's
place 50 student-athletes on Arthur Ashe Scholars List
May 7, 2005
Fifty HBCU student-athletes have been named 2005 Arthur Ashe Sports Scholars by Black
Issues in Higher Education. The award was established to honor undergraduate students of color who have achieved both academically and athletically.
Inspired by tennis legend Arthur Ashe Jr.’s commitment to education as well as his love for the game of tennis, Sports Scholars must exhibit athletic ability, academic excellence and community activism. To be included, students have to compete in an intercollegiate sport; maintain a cumulative grade-point average of at least 3.2; and be active on their campuses or in their communities.
