No matter what you have been told
you must keep this in mind. Athletic scholarships do not guarantee
you four years at college. They are only awarded for one year. Most
scholarships are renewed each year but this depends; on your
athletic results, academic standing and in some cases general
behavior.
Full ride scholarships cover board, tuition, class fees and books. Partial scholarships only cover a part of your education costs at college. Most universities and colleges that have athletic programs belong to one of the three largest athletic associations. The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), or the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA). |
The NJCAA is made up of "2 year schools" and is also divided into 3 divisions. NJCAA division I schools can grant athletes a full athletic scholarship, division II schools can only offer partial scholarships that cover tuition, books and fees while division III colleges cannot offer any.
