When it comes to your scholarship expectations, it's critical that you know where your athlete's sport falls in the mix. There are two types of athletic scholarships.
We'll explore these two types in this episodes.
Not all scholarships, of course, are full rides. In fact, in some sports, full rides are rare. Why is that? Not only because of limited dollars, but because of the NCAA limits on those sports. For instance, no matter which school it is, every D1 baseball program is limited to 11.7 scholarships.
In this episode, Jon Fugler goes into detail about the two types of scholarships and where your athlete fits in.
Jon also answers listener questions.
