College Scholarships for Soccer...

Good article from Ohio South...

College Recruiting Part 1

How Common is it for Colleges and Universities to Offer Full Rides or 1.0 Scholarships?

Division 1 – Depends on the institution, but I would suggest that it is less common than more common. Partial athletic scholarships are definitely more prevalent. Do the math......men have 9.9 athletic scholarships and women have 14 athletic scholarships.......Most squads range from 22 – 30 players. There will be some walk on's (no athletic aid), but most players on a squad are awarded some kind of athletic aid. Partial scholarships ranging from books only, room and board only, tuition only, to a straight cash award, are more common.
Division 2 and NAIA - Even less common. Partial athletic aid awards are the vast majority.
Division 3 – No athletic aid awarded – only academic aid.  


Is it possible to Receive Athletic and Academic Aid from an Institution?For the most part......Yes.....in fact – college coaches really like this. It is a win-win for both parties. You get a bigger award and the institution is able to stretch out their available athletic aid a bit further. So yes – grades and test scores can really help!
