how to get athletic scholarships
scholarship application informationMost college-bound student-athletes dream of
getting an athletic scholarship. But many aren't sure how or where
to start.
Here are some tips to help you realize your dreams: Review your course work with your high school
counselor to make sure you're taking courses that meet the
requirements of the NCAA Initial-Eligibility Clearinghouse, the
National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), and/or
the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA). Prepare a cover letter and sports résumé. Make a 10-15 minute video that highlights your
sports performance. Make a list of schools that you're interested
in attending and get the names of the coach for each school. Send
your cover letter to each coach, including your sports résumé,
your video, your letters of recommendation from your coaches, and
your season schedule. |

In their sport, athletes spend 15-20 hours practicing and training, and during the season, many sports require considerable travel time causing missed classes. Academically, students spend 12-15 hours in class each week. To succeed at college you need a time management game-plan.
