College Athlete Scholarships -  3 Important Facts You Should Know

Written By Our Expert College Recruitment Author, Gary Hawkins on 2009-11-17


College ScholarshipsEach and every year, college athlete scholarships are available to high school athletes who are trying to play their sport at the college level.  These scholarships are highly sought after and therefore the competition is fierce.  If you are trying to put yourself in position to get a scholarship, there are a few things you must know.

1-  Be Prepared To Compete

For each position available on a roster, most college coaches will recruit 5  and even up to 10 players for the position.  Why?  They want to take their time and really evaluate how the student-athlete is going to perform on the court/field and in the classroom.  They end up making the scholarship offer to the athlete who they believe fits into their program the best.

2-  Most Scholarships Are Partial

Everyone wants a full-ride, but the truth is that most college athlete scholarships are partial scholarships.  This is especially true for scholarships given at the Division II level and below.  Coaches take their allocation of scholarship dollars and divide it up between multiple players and then see who deserves more scholarship money as the athletes progress through college

3-  Scholarships Are Year To Year

One common myth is that athletes receive a four year scholarship when they attend a college or university on an athletic scholarship.  The truth is that scholarships are given out in one year increments only.  An athlete who does not perform in athletics or in the classroom may be put themselves in a position to lose their scholarship money the following season. 

Athlete ScholarshipsIf you are trying to put yourself in a position to earn one of the thousands of college athlete scholarships available each and every year, keep these three facts in mind.  Also, you need to market and promote yourself to college coaches no later than your junior year so that coaches can put you on their radar and evaluate you and your talents for a while.  Coaches will be glad to hear from you if you have what it takes to play at their level of competition.
