INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Benedict College men's tennis player Divgurjot Singh is one of 42 extraordinary spring sports student-athletes who have received a $10,000 award as part of its Postgraduate Scholarship program.
 
These student-athletes, representing spring sports across all three NCAA divisions, have demonstrated remarkable academic achievements, athletic excellence and leadership within their communities.
 
Singh wrapped up a stellar career for the Tigers on the tennis court this past season. He was named first-team All-SIAC in singles after going 7-7 overall and 6-3 against SIAC competition, primarily at No. 3 singles. He also received the SIAC's Elite 16 Award winner for the second year in a row, presented to the member of the All-Conference team with the highest GPA. He graduated in May with a degree in Sport Management.
 
Each year, the NCAA awards 126 postgraduate scholarships to student-athletes who have completed their final year of athletics competition. The scholarships are distributed three times annually — in the fall, winter and spring — providing 21 scholarships each to men and women per season. The award is a one-time, nonrenewable scholarship aimed at funding graduate study at an accredited institution.
 
Established in 1964, the NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship program promotes and encourages graduate education by recognizing the Association's most accomplished student-athletes. The program evaluates candidates on their athletic and academic achievements, campus involvement, community service and leadership. An equitable selection process ensures that all nominees, regardless of sport, division, gender or race, are considered fairly.
