Merit Based Scholarship

Pete Dexter Scholarship

The Pete Dexter Scholarship is intended to help athletes make the transition from development to a competitive team by lowering cost the barrier.  When he coached with TVSEF, Pete gave numerous athletes the extra boost they needed to keep their spark and stick with the sport even as they found more challenges and learned new skills.  We hope this scholarship will continue his legacy and spread his influence to young athletes for years to come by keeping their passion of the sport alive regardless of financial means.
This scholarship is a merit based scholarship given out at the end of each season.
