Different Types of Scholarship & Offers from Colleges

The process can be overwhelming. Here is a quick over of the types of offers your son or daughter may get from a school.

  1. Full-ride Scholarship: Will cover the major costs of attending college. It will include tuition, room & board, books and some course fees. It is a one-year commitment typically.
  2. Partial Scholarship: Typically a one-year commitment and will cover a portion of the costs of attending college.
  3. Preferred Walk-On: This means the coach would like you on the team but cannot offer any financial assistance at least for the first year. This is a great opportunity to earn your spot on the official roster.
  4. Recruited Walk-On: Similar to a Preferred Walk-On.
  5. Un-Recruited Walk-On: Similar to a Preferred Walk-On.
