NURTURING TALENT

JMTP began awarding scholarships to the John McEnroe Tennis Academy in 2010. Our support of scholar athletes often leads to college scholarships and further educational opportunities.

JMTP scholarship recipients have received scholarships and/or favored recruitment into NCAA collegiate programs including Amherst, Columbia, Harvard, Princeton, University of North Carolina, Wake Forest, Yale, among others. Some examples of our mission in action are the talented and dedicated young athletes featured below.

​BNP PARIBAS MAC 1

​The Johnny Mac Tennis Project and John McEnroe Tennis Academy have joined forces with BNP Paribas to support deserving tennis talent who embody the future of tennis.

Together, we're helping the most promising and deserving young American talents to reach the next level. Our Team BNP Paribas Mac 1 program provides year-round training and coaching to young hopefuls, from our home base at Sportime Randall’s Island in New York City.

​​We support our team members on and off the court, making available financial assistance, to allow intensive training and access to local, national and international competition; and personal assistance in preparing for the demands of collegiate and professional tennis, including image management, educational success, literacy, life-skills and more.
