Austin Peay tennis scholarship to be funded by alumnus estate – WSMV
CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) – Austin Peay State University received a gift from the estate of Richard G. Fraser, who graduated from the university in 1971, to establish a new tennis scholarship.
To qualify for the Richard G. Fraser Tennis Scholarship, student-athletes must be on the men’s or women’s tennis programs.
Here are instructions on how to watch WSMV4 live on various platforms.
“Gifts like this one from Mr. Fraser show a true passion, in this instance for tennis, and it’s an inspiration to have a gift that aims to extend that passion to others,” said APSU Vice President for Alumni, Engagement and Philanthropy Kris Phillips. “The student-athletes who benefit from this scholarship follow in Mr. Fraser’s footsteps and will hopefully have their lives enriched on the court, just as he did.”
APSU said Fraser grew up in Florida and after his graduation from APSU, worked as a claims processor for Delta Dental, Life of Georgia and Equitable. He was also an avid tennis player.
Fraser died in December 2021 at the age of 73.
