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.

This review is from: The Sports Scholarships Insider's Guide: Getting Money for College at Any Division (Paperback) I am a public school teacher and sports coach who was a scholarship athlete at a division one university; I wished Coach Wheeler would have written this book twenty years ago. I have used his book to help out my kids whom I teach and coach at my school-the book is a valuable resource to help kids understand that there are options to help them attend a fine university or college. I ran into a couple of questions I wanted to ask the author (Coach Wheeler), about his book and he promptly emailed me with some guidance. In today's world, which author do you know who will respond to his readers questions? 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: My guide!, By This review is from: The Sports Scholarships Insider's Guide: Getting Money for College at Any Division (Paperback) Coach Wheeler has written a remarkable book! My daughter, Rachel, has completed a successful junior track season. We were confused and disappointed by the paucity and caliber of recruiting contacts she received, so I needed some guidance. An associate of mine alerted me to the Sports Scholarship Insider's Guide. I purchased the book and we entered a high stakes contest as the book says, "and only the opposition knows the rules". And in our recruiting experience it is obvious, they aren't sharing those rules with parents. The mother of one of her teammates learned that I was devouring the book and asked if she too, could read it. My unfortunate answer was yes. Shortly, I realized that one of the book's most valuable assets is as a ready reference and situational guide. The Goal Setting Chapter for the athlete guided her to learn to set a goal and helped her design a plan of action to achieve it. The Chapter on Questions To Ask is valuable to parents because it brutally defines how...Read more 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: Amazing, By This review is from: The Sports Scholarships Insider's Guide: Getting Money for College at any Division (Paperback) This is a great book if you have a high school athlete who wants to play in college.
