A Few Facts About Golf Scholarships

After all, the financial considerations involved can be fairly daunting. Consider a few relevant facts: Between 1995 and 2015, tuition and fees at private national universities grew by 179 percent on average. During the same time frame, out-of-state students at public universities saw costs increase by 226 percent.

In light of these troubling statistics, it’s little wonder that many parents take comfort in the availability of scholarships. Too often overlooked, athletic scholarships turn academic dreams into reality for thousands of high school seniors. In 2014 alone, U.S colleges gave varsity athletes more than $3 billion in scholarships. Many people don’t realize that golf scholarships from external organizations are more common than in many other sports. This is related to the fact that stars like Tiger Woods have gained the sport many new spectators in the past few years.

People who conduct sufficient research can find a wide variety of golf scholarships to meet their needs. Each year, the NCAA awards scholarships to over 126,000 undergraduates with athletic potential. Altogether, these full and partial scholarships amount to approximately $1 billion in education funding. Besides the NCAA, a number of other organizations provide full and partial athletic scholarships. These include the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) and the National Association Of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA).
 
One of the best ways to start capitalizing on this great sport is to enroll your kids in the Aussie Kids Golf Academy. Our trained experts kindly teach children as young as three years old.
