How do I apply for an athletic scholarship?

Answer 1

An athletic scholarship is given out in Divivision 1 and 2 colleges and universities. It can be a full ride (everything covered) or a partial one. If you have particular colleges or universities in mind, it is important to get in touch with the coaches, and there is a form on the sport's website which can be located on the university's or college's website. It is important to apply for one before the senior year in some cases for certain sports. Most of all, it is important to sign up for the NCAA database. Good luck!

Answer 2

There are more than 29 sports that offer scholarships in athletics however, getting one of these is a tricky issue. Applying is not as easy. All scholarships require a certain academic standard (this standard may vary by school and division of competition). Be sure to know the standard before applying.

Performance evaluations are also part of athletic scholarships. Different divisions of play require different levels of athletic ability. Scouts travel the country checking out high school students to find athletes that have the ability to play at certain level. Some of the higher divisions offer scholarships based on these scouted performances, there is no "application" to fill out. Other divisions have application processes similar to other types of scholarships.
