Dave Perry Scholarship Forms and Information

The Dave Perry Scholarship is awarded annually at the IWP All-State Banquet. The award recognizes senior student-athletes who best reflect the ideals of Illinois Water Polo and who have excelled in high school to possess high potential at the collegiate level.

Dave Perry was a legendary coach, mentor and leader in the Illinois water polo community. Over his twenty-four years as head coach at Fenwick HS his teams won seventeen state titles, including eight straight IHSA championships. Just as important, his commitment to youth development introduced the sport to thousands of athletes, helping the sport of water polo expand and flourish in Illinois and throughout the Midwest.

The IWP organization established this scholarship to honor Dave Perry for his extraordinary success and contributions.
