OUR 2023 Scholarship Information
The Mark Friday Memorial Scholarship Foundation will be awarding a $1,000 scholarship to a Lake Norman area high school senior who actively participates in tennis and community activities in the Lake Norman area.
The Mark Friday Memorial Scholarship was established in 2017 in memory of Mark Friday by his family, friends and USTA tennis teammates. In each of the Foundation’s first five years, one new $1,000 scholarship was awarded, and each expiring scholarship has been renewed. It is the Foundation’s expectation that a recipient’s $1,000 scholarship will be renewed for four years as long as scholarship recipients maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 and are making progress toward a degree.
