College Scholarships for Table Tennis

December 22nd, 2011
Comments
* Do you want to continue playing table tennis and get a degree?* Would you like to make friends with players from other countries?

* How would you like a university to pay for your tournaments?

* Why pay full price for college when you can attend Lindenwood for less and still play table tennis?

 

Lindenwood University in St. Charles, Missouri (St. Louis area) is expanding their collegiate table tennis program.  Financial assistance is available for table tennis players at all levels of play.

 

Lindenwood is a dynamic four-year liberal arts institution.  It offers more than 120 undergraduate and graduate degree programs to approximately 15,000 students.  Lindenwood is an independent institution firmly rooted in Judeo-Christian values.  (http://www.lindenwood.edu)

 

The table tennis program was started in April 2008.  Lindenwood has 18 Butterfly Centrefold 25 tables and two Butterfly Amicus 3000 Plus robots.  The University pays for team members to compete in approximately 8-10 USATT-sanctioned tournaments per year. Click here for more details.

 

See the attached flier for additional information.

 

If you are looking to save some money on college costs and want to continue competing in table tennis while you study, then contact me for details.

 

Thanks,

Randy Kendle
Co-Head Coach Lindenwood Table Tennis
