GREENVILLE, South Carolina -- Furman tennis standout James Cameron was

Cameron was the 2003 Southern Conference Player of the Year and Male

The NCAA awards 58 spring postgraduate scholarships; 29 to men and 29 to
women. The scholarships are awarded to student-athletes who excel
academically and athletically and who are in their last year of
intercollegiate athletics competition. Nominees are required to have a
grade point average of 3.200 and the intention of continuing their
academic work beyond the baccalaureate degree.

Cameron, who is the first Paladin tennis player to earn this prestigious
grant, will attend the Emory University School of Medicine in the fall.
