Why Are Athletes favored?

Conclusion

  • More money in athletics
  • Entertainment purposes
  • Football and basketball has higher competition levels and has most money in athletics so scholarships will always be given
  • Even smaller sports like golf or bowling offer a lot of such scholarships just for being on team, not always based on performance
  • athletic scholarships are most recognized in colleges
  • students believe their sport is there ticket to success and will make more money

Funding for Scholarships

Since it is obvious that not a lot of college athletes make it into professional sports, sports should not be favored over academics

  • Academic scholarships mostly come from outside sources but athletics typically come from schools athletic department
  • universities budget money each year for attracting athletes
  • athletics bring a lot of money to the schools '
  • some hurdles to get more academic scholarships would include not getting enough money or donations and not being able to persuade enough people to share some athletic money for academics

Scholarships and how we can improve them

  • There are $46 billion in free scholarship money awarded each year by the Department of Education and colleges
  • $35 million in college scholarships that are available through private companies, foundations, and civic groups
  • According to the National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (NPSAS), the average scholarship amount for undergraduate students for 2007-2008 was $2,523.31 per person.
  • NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) estimated in 2008 that the average value of a full scholarship at an in-state public university was roughly $14,000. That same year an out-of-state public university had an average close to $24,000 and full scholarships to private universities was more than $32,000.

History

  • The University of Southern California offers 100 full-tuition scholarships, more than 200 half-tuition scholarships and more than 250 awards equal to one-quarter of its tuition to freshmen each year
  • More schools should offer more scholarships
  • There should be a more even distribution
  • offer scholarships for academic achievements

•Harvard university was the first to start scholarships and financial aid

•Lady Ann Radcliffe- Mowelson established it in 1643

•She used a sum of 100 pounds from her late husband’s estate –about $13,200 today
