An athletic scholarship is a form of financial support that universities/colleges in the United States provide to their student athletes, although anyone is free to apply for a scholarship.
An athletic scholarship may not cover all the costs of attending a university. It is quite common for coaches to award partial scholarships and to spread their budget across more players. A student athlete may receive an offer ranging from covering 20% to 90% of the costs. Although requirements and expectations are extremely high, it is also possible to obtain a “full-ride,” which is a scholarship that fully covers the cost of tuition, room, and board. Thus, it is important to understand how the costs are accumulated and which other costs might need to be covered.
As the number of scholarships is limited, the coaches strive to recruit the best athletes from other countries. The value of a scholarship is dependent on both the athletes’ athletic abilities and their academic background.
