AG "Tunney" Brooks Student Athlete Scholarship

The Donor wishes to honor the longtime Athletic Director and Coach of Football, Basketball and Baseball at Lumberton High School. Throughout his tenure as coach and Athletic Director of the Pirates, Coach Tunney instilled the values of sportsmanship, teambuilding, and healthy competition, while he challenged his players to give their all. The young men who played for him, and the fans who rooted for his teams, value forever the legacy he built – both on and off the field – during his tenure. The recipients of The A.G. “Tunney” Brooks Student Athlete Endowed Scholarship should be UNCP Student Athletes of high character who demonstrate a genuine financial need. Following the awarding policy laid out in Item IV below, priority should be given first to Lumberton High School Athletes, then to Robeson County Athletes, and finally if no candidates can be found, the award will be open to all other student/athletes attending UNCP. Recipients are expected to maintain a minimum of 2.5 QPA and maintain their standing as a student athlete.
