State College Area High School alumnus Marc Shapiro made a gift to create two scholarships in honor of his parents, Michael and Janice Shapiro. The new tennis and academic excellence awards provide recognition to young tennis players who combine their athletic prowess with academic excellence and good citizenship. This fund supports two scholarships, initially, for the purposes of college/university attendance, one to be awarded to the Coach's Award designee and senior on the boy's tennis team and one awarded to the Coach's Award designee and senior on the girl's tennis team at the State College Area High School.
