Athletic scholarships. Only 2% of high school athletes go on to receive one in college, according to the NCAA. And of the ~500,000 NCAA student athletes across Divisions I, II, and III only ~195,000 (~40%) receive any form of sports scholarship. Very few of these, in fact, are full scholarships, which are mainly contained to designated "headcount" sports: 6 men's and women's NCAA Division I revenue-generating teams (think: Div I FBS football, men's and women's Div I basketball, and women's Div I gymnastics). This doesn't mean you can't receive scholarship money to participate in sports in college. But it DOES mean that you need to be realistic about that outcome, and a good place to start is by better understanding the scholarship system. I unpack this, as well as address other common questions and misconceptions about scholarships for student-athletes such as: How common are full (vs partial) scholarships? Are all college sports teams "fully funded" with scholarship $$$? And, is my athletic scholarship guaranteed for all four years? This is post #5 in a series on college + athletics, to help you better understand this as part of your college search.
The good news is that it is possible to receive full scholarships in NCAA Division I & II (and NAIA and NJCAA levels). The bad news is that it just isn’t very common, as this chart shows. Why? The NCAA has rules that limit the number of athletic scholarships and some sports rarely, if ever, offer full scholarships. Also, there are no athletic scholarships at all in NCAA Division III sports - but, merit aid can come in a different form. Full details in this latest blog post - https://lnkd.in/gsDcKPju. This is the 5th post in a series to help you better understand athletics as part of your college search.
