Helping your student-athlete get recruited

 

the parents role in the college sports scholarship process

As a parent your role in the recruiting process is vital to your child's success. Student-athletes and their parents need a developed and practical strategy to win college sports scholarships. It’s very likely that there is a scholarship or other kind of financial aid available for your student-athlete.

Follow these tips:

  • Help your student-athlete develop a step-by-step game plan to win a sports scholarship.
     
  • Get started early; college coaches can’t recruit your student-athlete if they don’t know he’s out there.
     
  • Encourage your student-athlete to learn about the recruiting process and the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association).
     
  • Seek colleges offering scholarships in his sport.

The key is to encourage without pressuring. Parents need to paint a realistic picture while supporting the dream.

Your student-athlete doesn’t have to be in the top 5% of their sport to be offered an athletic scholarship. They might not be offered a full ride at a Division I College, but many make their dream a reality.

Athletic scholarships for undergraduate student–athletes at Division I and Division II schools are partially funded through the NCAA membership revenue distribution. These scholarships are awarded directly by the college or university, not by the NCAA. Approximately $1 billion in athletic scholarships are awarded each year. More than 126,000 student–athletes receive either a partial or full athletic scholarship each year.
