Most College Athletes Don't Get Scholarships
Many high school athletes and their parents mistakenly believe that if you can't win an athletic scholarship, you can't play sports in college.
Your focus shouldn't be on the scholarship, but on the experience: is this going to be a good fit in terms of the sports, yes, but also in terms of the academic and social experience. After all, this is college. It shouldn't feel like a prison camp!
The reality is that the majority of college athletes players do not have athletic scholarships. Demand is way too high and supply is way too low. Put simply, there are far more college athletes than there are college scholarships. NCAA scholarship limits make it impossible for college coaches to give every player athletic money.
All that said, it is possible to get college soccer scholarships, baseball scholarships, or any kind of college athletic scholarships. Learn how.
