...Use this page to learn more information about the process
Though I won't get into many details on this page, I will provide you with some links to get you the information that you need. Usually, high school athletic directors and coaches are very knowledgeable about this process, as well as college coaches.
UNDERSTAND that it is important for you to know that if you intend to be an athlete in college, you may need to take certain high school courses in order to be eligible to participate in college. This will depend on the level and conference in which you plan to participate. Work with your high school counselor to make sure that you are on the right track.
REMEMBER to not lose sight of the reason you are pursuing a college education - to earn a degree that will empower you for the rest of your life in your field of interest. Sometimes, I have witnessed athletes get enamored by athletic offers to go to schools that don't fit academically or socially, resulting in transfers after a year or two. As another example, if you don't know what you want to study when entering college, and you go to an institution that does not offer certain degree programs, such as nursing or engineering, you are limiting yourself from those fields as options for a career, unless you transfer schools.
ASK the coach who is recruiting you if the scholarship that you are being offered is for one year or all four years. You need to get the facts on this before making a decision.
