Not all athletic scholarships are full ride like women's tennis and basketball, so called "head count sports"; most are classed as "equivalency sports", like water polo. Put simply this means that coaches can "share" their allocation between a larger number of players.

This is good news for the players. If we take women's water polo as an example we see that a coach can divide the "8" scholarships between a larger number of water polo players. Say 12 partial instead of 8 full ride scholarships. If you are good enough of course then you may be offered a full ride scholarship.

As a high school water polo player you should be aware that the standard at college level is very high. I would recommend that you attend some games to gauge the actual intensity of athletics at this level. Remember that only the absolute top players will be approached with offers.

You should not just concentrate on the best division 1 colleges, many of these bigger schools usually have a large number of recruits on their books. The competition is fierce, unless you are one of the best water polo players you wont receive scholarship offers. There is nothing wrong with smaller division 1, division 2 or NAIA colleges. What would you rather have, a partial or full water polo scholarship at a division 2 school or the offer of a walk on at one of the top schools? Remember, its your education that's important.

You wont make your dream come true if you don't do everything you possibly can to get recruited. You must have a detailed, professional athletic resume prepared and you must get it into the hands of the college water polo coaches.
