The National Collegiate Table Tennis Association (NCTTA) proudly presents the

National Table Tennis Scholarship Program

NCTTA’s National Table Tennis Scholarship Program has been developed to give deserving table tennis athletes the opportunity for financial support while pursuing a college education. With the original generous support from NEWGY Industries and the current fabulous support from The HSING FAMILY FOUNDATION, NCTTA is able to award a limited number of scholarships to male and female student-athletes, based on the criteria described on this site. Recipients are expected to practice with and compete for their school's table tennis team in NCTTA league competition (i.e. Divisional, Regional, or Championship tournaments).

Scholarship Opportunities

Multiple scholarships will be awarded ranging from $800-$1200 for select educational expenses, including:

• Tuition

• Books

• Room and Board

The size and scope of the scholarship program (including both number and amount of scholarships awarded) is expected to expand in future years. Higher dollar amount awards will be given to those student-athletes that are on the US National team, played in the World Championships, Olympics, or Pan-Am games (including para).
