YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED…
What is a student athlete? - A student athlete is a
participant in an organized competitive sport
sponsored by the educational institution in which
he or she is enrolled. Student athletes must
typically balance the roles of being a full-time
student and a full-time athlete.
What is an athletic scholarship? An athletic
scholarship is a form of scholarship to attend a
college or university awarded to an individual
based predominantly on his or her ability to play a
sport. Athletic Scholarships give many student
athletes the opportunity to use their athletic
talents and get an education.
What type of scholarship offer should I expect?
This is something that is almost impossible to
predict. In addition to current academic results,
SAT test scores, timing, available budgets, and the
coaches perspective of the athlete’s ability, the
college coach is the only one who can decide what
scholarship amount they will offer a prospective
student athlete. We cannot guarantee any level of
scholarship to our athletes will be awarded.
What does it cost to register? Registration with
All-American Sport Scholarships is £895.00. With
other companies registration is typically in excess
of £2000.00.
Can I get an academic scholarship? Student
athletes are eligible for academic scholarships if
their grades and test scores qualify. Academic
scholarships are great opportunities for athletes if
they’re not able to secure an athletic scholarship
or they need more financial aid in addition to a
smaller athletic scholarship package. To earn an
academic scholarship, you need to have strong
grades and test scores. Each university has
different requirements for academic scholarship
aid.
What is the ACT / SAT? The SAT and ACT are both
standardized tests for college admissions in the
United States. The tests are intended to assess a
student's readiness for college. All four-year
colleges and universities in the U.S. accept these.
Scores can impact admittance and prospective
students being more marketable to coaches as they
may qualify for academic scholarship.
What is the NCAA? The National Collegiate
Athletic Association (NCAA) is a nonprofit
association of 1,281 institutions, conferences,
organizations and individuals that organizes the
athletic programs of many colleges and universities
in the United States and Canada. Under NCAA
rules, Division I and Division II schools can offer
scholarships to athletes for playing a sport.
Division III schools may not offer any athletic
scholarships. Generally, larger schools compete in
Division I and smaller schools in II and III. Eligibility
rules are different than the NAIA.
What is the NAIA? The National Association of
Intercollegiate Athletics is the organizing body that
oversees college athletics for its member 258member schools. Schools who are members of the
NAIA are made of smaller colleges located in the
United States and Canada. Eligiblity rules are
different than the NCAA.
Do I have to register with the NCAA /NAIA? In
order to be eligible to compete in college sports at
the NCAA and NAIA levels, you will need to register
with their respective Eligibility Centers. It is
recommended that you register as you enter your
Year 13. Make sure you know which division level
you are able to compete at before you register for
any Eligibility Centre; this will save you both time
and money.
What does a full scholarship cover? A ‘full’ or
‘100%’ scholarship covers the cost of tuition, room,
board, books and sports related clothing and
equipment.
What is a junior college? A junior college is a twoyear education. The highest certificate offered by
such schools is usually an associate's degree,
although junior college students may continue
their education at a university or college,
transferring some or all of the credit earned at the
junior college toward the degree requirements of
the four-year school. Talented athletes who would
not meet the academic standards of a major
college program may be able to play for two years
in junior college, establishing an academic record
in the process, and then transfer to a major
college.
