ATHLETIC SCHOLARSHIPS (last update Thu, Sep 6, 2007 ) What factors go into receiving an athletic scholarship? First you want to find a college or university that is interested in having you as an athlete at their school.  You need to get their attention so they will offer you a scholarship. You can do that by sending tapes of your performance at high school, articles and recommendations from your coach or coaches. The second requirement is meeting the NCAA rules for meeting academic requirements. What are eligibility standards for college scholarships? For students entering any Division I college or universities on or after August 1, 2008, your NCAA initial eligibility will be evaluated under the 16 core-course rule. This means you will have to successfully completed: Four years of English, 2 years of math (Algebra I or higher), 2 years of natural/physical science (1 year of a lab if offered by high school), 2 years of social science, 3 years of additional courses. The new rule will increase the number of core courses from 13 to 14. How can I find out more about NCAA rules and requirements? The majority of the information you will need can be found on the Internet. The best reference is the NCAA itself:  http://www.ncaa.org/wps/portal Attend our athletic scholarship workshop when it is announced. There are also commercial web sites that they can assist you getting a scholarship. Make sure you check with your high school athletic director and coach about using these resources.
