hab29RETIRED Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Keep in mind those on athletic scholarships are restricted in being employed or having businesses by the NCAA. Not so for those on academic scholarships. here is a quote from an american writer who supposedly knows what he is talking about. Yes scholarships are a good deal, but I still don't see where they are getting "paid" So What Are Full-ride Scholarships, and Who Gets Them? Full-ride scholarships essentially enable recipients to attend college at little cost. Tuition, room and board, books, and certain fees related to courses are covered. Expenses that may not be covered include other student fees (e.g., late fees and parking tickets), fines, or the premium to be paid for a single dorm room. These scholarships are however available to those who play what are called head count sports, sports that are considered to be revenue producers. For men, head count sports are basketball and division I football. For women, basketball, volleyball, tennis, and gymnastics constitute head count sports.
