The Truth About Athletic Scholarships
Full rides aren’t guaranteed. Here’s what most athletes don’t realize about scholarship offers.
The Truth About Athletic Scholarships
Let’s be clear: very few athletes get a full-ride. Especially in non-revenue sports.
What you need to know:
- Partial scholarships are the norm.
- Offers are often stacked: athletic + academic + need-based.
- Verbal commitments aren’t binding.
- Scholarships can be cut (yes, even mid-degree).
Don’t assume anything. Ask for everything in writing — every dollar, every year.
