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.
