"So what do you have to pay for a scholarship?" 

US university fees can range from $15,000 to $50,000 per year. The 100% full scholarship will be offered to only elite male and female players with the right academic backgrounds. A full scholarship covers tuition fees, room and food costs. Do not expect a 'full' scholarship even if you are an elite athlete. The offer of a 90% scholarship based on $30,000 fees is $3,000 to pay per annum. This is better than no offer at all and is significantly less than English university top up fees!

A 'full tuition' scholarship means just that; the room and food costs need to be found. Be clear about terminology and wary of those who claim to be in the know about full scholarships.

Universities will offer either a percentage of the total fees or ask for a specific sum in year 1. This Year 1 offer may stay level throughout the course or may go down each year. Once a fee is agreed it is unusual that a university will ask for subsequent annual increases. Please note scholarship agreements are binding for 1 year only and renewed annually subject to the completion of academic grades, good behaviour and consistent performance.

Universities may require student athletes to pay their own Health Insurance as distinct from Athletic Injury. Costs for this can vary between $500 and $1200 depending on where the insurance is purchased. You can save considerably by purchasing the Long Stay and Study Abroad Insurance package.
