Aman Manji won the Sonny Carter Scholarship

I wanted to take the time to congratulate Aman Manji for winning the prestigious Sonny Carter Scholarship. This is a very special award that is given every year to one student at Emory.  The Sonny Carter Scholarship memorializes an Emory alumnus who was a soccer player, physician, test pilot, and astronaut: Manley Lanier "Sonny" Carter Jr., '69C, '73M. An applicant must have an outstanding academic record, demonstrated involvement and leadership in the community, moral qualities supporting the common good, and evidence that physical activity is a regular part of the applicant’s life.


Aman is a role model for his teammates and coaching staff because he places character and integrity above winning. Aman has become an incredible ambassador for Emory University because he plays the game the right way. Aman competes hard but never sacrifices his integrity in the heat of competition. As a result, Aman has garnered much respect from his opponents and opposing coaches across Division III.

We are all very proud of Aman! This is the third Emory tennis player to have won this award. Dylan Bird and Ian Wagner also were selected for this Sonny Carter Scholarship!
