Get Scouted Scouting CareersAre you kidding me? NSR scouts hear that in every prospect interview.
It is the reaction we get upon telling families that there are very few full athletic scholarships in college. Parents are aghast at the revelation. Prospects are stunned.
But it is real. It is true.
Nearly all college athletes are on scholarship packages put together by the schools’ financial aid departments. In the cases of NCAA D-I, D-II and NAIA colleges, they are a combination of need-based money, federal and state grants, academic awards, student loans and, finally, athletic scholarships.
Together these make a package which helps athletes afford college.
When National Scouting Report scouts interview prospects with their parents, we are thorough in our explanation of how this packaging works, along with how the recruiting process really operates, and a few key NCAA recruiting rules. When we get to the packaged scholarship part, families are usually in disbelief.
Why are they so surprised? Because no one has ever mentioned this truism to them. Not their guidance counselors, coaches or the relative or guy down they street they whose advice they were following.
It is crucial that families understand that a pot of gold is not waiting for them at the end of the rainbow. But know this – parents and prospects can position themselves for this eventuality with a number of proven strategies.
NSR scouts know how to do just that.
