Educational funding is a challenge in itself.
Every parent & student wants to transition to college, with the biggest concern being how to pay for it.
Extracurriculars, honor socieities, clubs, and academic credentials are all sought to become more handsome for a scholarship reward.
The art student compiling portfolios to win a scholarship....
The general studies student spendnig $100s on ACT/SAT prep workshops to boost their ACT score, for the main purpose of obtaining an academic scholarship....
The PolySci student heading up faux-organizations as a way to pad their application....
With as many resources and avenues out there to help fund the college experience, with no shame.....
Can sport-specific training benefit the scholarship-seeking athlete to defray the costs of undergraduate education? Outside of the for-profit, opportunitistic agencies and camps - can / should athletes look at off-season skill development as an opportunity to (partial/full) fund their college pursuits?
Why or Why Not would this be a healthy outlook for the student-athlete?
