Some good Athletic Scholarship links (version A)

Athletic Scholarships in the U.S.

Are you considering applying for a athletic scholarship? You may already have been told by others that you should. And it doesn’t hurt to find out.

Have you checked with the schools you most are interested in? That would be a good first step. But you will also need some good links to explore. Just scroll down to find those.

Here is something I ran across today that I didn’t know. It is from Wikipedia: “An athletic scholarship is a form of scholarship to attend university awarded to an individual based predominantly on his or her ability to play in a sport. Athletic scholarships are common in the United States, but in many countries they are rare or non-existent.”

I didn’t know that!

Here are some quality sites to get you started on a search to find out more about athletic scholarships:

The College Scholarships.org page on Athletic Scholarships

http://www.collegescholarships.org/athletic.htm

This site provides advice too, not just links.

The FinAid page on Sports Scholarships

http://www.finaid.org/otheraid/sports.phtml

The Scholarships.com Athletic Scholarships page

http://www.scholarships.com/financial-aid/college-scholarships/scholarships-by-type/athletic-scholarships/

There are some good links here after the article.

Want to study in England? Apply for a Marshall scholarship - plus more scholarships

Tweet

Hi, readers!

This clipart is from Clker.com

Have you ever dreamed of going to school in another country?

I ran across an article about studying in England today on the Princeton University site. They are current and former Princeton students. However, this scholarship is available to students from all over. It is available for two years at any British University, for any field of study.

I have to say, this appeals to me so much. What a great opportunity! Studying in England would be a dream come true for me, and would also have been earlier in my life.

There is a long history to this scholarship. As the Princeton site explains,  the Marshall Scholarship was set up "in 1953 as a British gesture to the United States for the assistance received after World War II under the Marshall Plan."

Want to find out more about the Marshall scholarship? Check out their site:

Scholarships and Grants for Nontraditional Students

Tweet

Hi all! Today I am shining my spotlight on scholarships and grants in the U.S. for nontraditional students. These students are going back to school after a break. I am personally interested in nontrads because I was one several years ago. I took education classes. Now I have a blog, a website, a Yahoo group, a Facebook page, and a Twitter page just for Nontraditional Students.

It can be harder for nontraditional students to find scholarship opportunities, but more and more schools are jumping on the bandwagon to help these students, who often commute, have families, or other responsibilities. So maybe you will find it easier to find financial aid than in years past.

Here are some good sources to find scholarships and grants for nontraditional students. I am also starting to list some on the Nontrad pages too. If you know of a good scholarship or grant for nontraditional students, please feel free to add it to the State Pages at the Nontrad site or list it as a comment here.

You can also search for nontraditional student scholarships on your state college, GED, or trade school pages. Just go to the site and put the words "nontraditional student scholarship" in the search box once you are on the site you want.

Here are just a few scholarships out of the many that are offered today:
