College Scholarships
& Walk-On Standards (for reference only - please
contact the college or university directly for current information)
Information
for High School athletes considering T&F at
the college level. Only NCAA Division I & II programs
can
offer athletic scholarships. NAIA and some Jr. Colleges may also offer
athletic aid.
Many schools offer "partial" scholarships vs. "full rides".
Some schools favor XC/distance athletes - who can compete in
3
seasons (XC, indoor & outdoor) vs. 2 seasons for other
T&F
athletes as it gives them more "bang for their buck". Naturally,
athletes who can meet standards in multiple events will get more
consideration.
Best
advice -
get good grades and score well on your ACT/SAT - as there are
far
more academic scholarships, grants and aid available than T&F
scholarships!
NCAA
& NAIA Scholarship Limits (do
your own math to calculate the total number of scholarships available -
then consider the number of athletes on a Division I or II T&F
program...)
