WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Atlantic 10 Conference announced Wednesday that Jerry Wang of Davidson men's tennis was one of 15 outstanding student-athletes to be awarded an A-10 Postgraduate Scholarship.
Over the last decade, the A-10's Postgraduate Scholarship program has awarded $570,000 to 114 former student-athletes. Each of this year's 15 honorees receives $5,000 to contribute towards full-time enrollment in a postgraduate or professional program. First instituted to provide continuing education opportunities for graduating student-athletes, the program awards $75,000 in scholarship funding to former A-10 student-athletes. This marks the eighth year the Atlantic 10 has provided the scholarships to individuals from each Atlantic 10 campus.
Wang has been a valued member of the team all four years of his playing career with Davidson men's tennis. A strong leader, the Fayetteville, N.C. native served as a two-year captain of the squad. Over Wang's four-year bout as a Wildcat he has earned 19 singles victories and 13 doubles wins including a 6-6 solo and 6-8 doubles record in the 2024 Spring season. Wang has made his impact on the team as a clutch contributor, having clinched multiple match points including most recently picking up a 7-6, 6-4 win to seal a 6-1 Senior Day victory over The Citadel this season.
In the classroom, Wang is a Biology major and has had his academic successes recognized by being named to the 2022-23 A-10 Commissioner's Honor Roll in addition to being a two-time Intercollegiate Tennis Association Scholar-Athlete. A season ago, the senior was named a College Sports Communicator's Academic All-District honoree. Upon graduation, he aspires to continue his academic journey by attending medical school.
