sports scholarship

A sports scholarship is a financial award given to student-athletes to support their education while they compete in a specific sport at a college or university. It recognizes their athletic talent and often covers tuition, books, and sometimes room and board. In exchange, recipients typically commit to representing and competing for the school’s team. These scholarships can be full or partial and are awarded through a process that evaluates athletic skill, academic performance, and potential. They provide talented athletes the opportunity to pursue higher education without the full financial burden.
