The journey to college, particularly for student-athletes, can be both exciting and challenging. The college recruiting process, specifically for baseball, is often complicated and requires considerable planning and knowledge.
A critical part of that journey is understanding the different types of scholarships possibly available to your son.
Today, I wanted to shed light on four scholarships your high school baseball player could be eligible for to help you better navigate the college recruiting process.
To help you get a more in-depth understanding of each of these scholarships, I've created a detailed discussion on my YouTube channel and podcast.
Today, I wanted to shed light on four scholarships your high school baseball player could be eligible for, to help you better navigate the college recruiting process:
-
Athletic Scholarships – These are awarded based on a student's athletic performance and potential contribution to the college's team. Keep in mind that competition is fierce, but with exceptional talent and the right exposure, your student could benefit immensely.
-
Academic Scholarships – If your student-athlete shines in the classroom as well as on the field, academic scholarships might be their ticket to a top-notch education. These scholarships reward students for their academic achievements, leadership roles, and high test scores, among other factors.
-
Need-Based Scholarships – These are awarded based on financial need. If your family income falls below a certain threshold, your student may qualify for a need-based scholarship, reducing the financial burden of a college education.
-
Merit-Based Scholarships – These scholarships are given to students who have shown exceptional talents, skills, or achievements in various fields beyond athletics or academics. This could include community service, leadership, arts, and more.
