Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Rising tennis star Zamani Moyo has been awarded another scholarship, this time to the prestigious Howard University in the United States of America worth US$20 000 per annum.<\/p>\n

In August 2021, Moyo left for the US after obtaining a scholarship to Lewis and Clark Community College in Godfrey, Illinois.<\/p>\n

He had secured a place through assistance from tennis coach Eric Sturgis.<\/p>\n

When Sturgis moved to Iowa Central Community College, he moved with Moyo.<\/p>\n

Moyo (18), who is from Emakhandeni, Bulawayo, secured a top 50 ranking in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association as the 33rd best player.<\/p>\n

His performances attracted the attention of Howard University which has given him a Division 1 athletic scholarship.<\/p>\n

Moyo will be able to continue with his tennis career while pursuing his studies.<\/p>\n

The teenager is currently in the country to spend time with his family before he heads back to the US. He said:<\/p>\n

I feel so excited because not everyone goes to Howard University because it\u2019s a very prestigious institution and at the same time to get that opportunity to be part of the Bison family is very prestigious.<\/p>\n

I have never expected to be going to study at Howard University.<\/p>\n

Moyo aspires to be a dentist, and he will be able to pursue his dream at Howard University.<\/p>\n

His grandmother, Siboniso Moyo is happy to see the grandchild getting further opportunities to improve his life. She said:<\/p>\n

We are happy for Zamani, he told us that he is changing locations, we pray that whatever he wishes for, it goes the way he wants.<\/p>\n

We had no idea that tennis could take him places, tennis has uplifted his life, and it\u2019s also going to uplift our lives.<\/p>\n

Sturgis revealed that Moyo\u2019s Howard University scholarship covers most of the expenses but they still have to fundraise to cover the difference.<\/p>\n
