Getting Money for College at Any Division

The #1 book on sports scholarships, completely updated and revised!

$1 billion of athletic scholarships are awarded each year

But student-athletes who aren't big-time recruits miss out on tens of thousands of dollars of financial aid available to them. The problem is students and parents don't know where the money is or how to get it.

  • Discover the secrets to getting a sports scholarship
  • Over seventeen hundred colleges offer athletic programs.
  • Over 500,000 athletes participate in sports in the nation's college programs.
  • But less than 1% (about 4,000) of them get Division I, full-ride financial aid grants.
  • The truth is: 80% of all college athletic opportunities are located outside Division I!

    But to seize those opportunities, you must take control of your own recruiting process—recruiting, research and homework, exposure and promotion, and negotiating—all in the environment of a high-stakes contest where only the opposition knows the rules.

    This book will give you the edge.

    If you aren't one of the 4,000, but are athletically and academically qualified to participate in college sports, The Sports Scholarships Insider's Guide will lead you step by step through the twists, turns, and all too often unpleasant surprises to achieve your ultimate goal of a roster position and financial aid for your athletic ability.

    "Practical, step-by-step information in a clear and conversational manner."

    School Library Journal

    Dion Wheeler, former coach and recruiting consultant, gives students and their parents the inside edge to not only find great scholarships, but get the best offer no matter what their skill level.

        Adult/High School -Wheeler's guide is not unique but it does provide practical, step-by-step information in a clear and conversational manner. Topics include the recruiting process, financial-aid opportunities, academic requirements, preparing credentials, school visits, and negotiating for financial assistance from NCAA division I, II, III and NAIA institutions. The second half of the book includes listings of sports for the various divisions, institution names, and Web addresses. No coaches' names are given. Much of the material listed is available from high school guidance counselors or the "NCAA Guide for the College Bound Student Athlete". This easy-to-read guide is similar to "Sports Scholarships and College Athletic Programs" (Peterson's Guides, 2004) and Wayne Mazzoni's "The Athletic Recruiting and Scholarship Guide" (Mazz Marketing, Inc., 2005) but adds to the resources available." -Janice C. Hayes, Middle Tennessee State University, Murfreesboro"
