Established by Ron Edgerton in honor of his loving wife, Nancy, for her birthday in May 2021. The Nancy Edgerton Endowed Tennis Scholarship provides financial aid to qualified students within UNC Asheville’s Tennis Program.
An active tennis player herself, Nancy’s passion, dedication, and love for tennis grew to include UNC Asheville when her son Eric became engaged to a UNC Asheville alumnae and alumni-athlete of the tennis program, Lauren Brooker.
Now that they are married, the whole family loves to attend the matches to cheer on the student-athletes. The Edgertons have also hosted gatherings in their home to support the UNC Asheville tennis program.
