An academic scholarship (also called an academic scholarship) is a financial scholarship for students with strong academic performance. This type of scholarship lowers your total tuition costs and is awarded to students who excel in school and achieve good scores on admission tests. For student-athletes, this can be especially attractive – as it increases your chances of admission as well as lowers athletic coach fees.
How do you qualify for an academic scholarship?
Not everyone automatically qualifies for an academic scholarship. Each university sets its own admission requirements. They usually look at your GPA (the average of your high school grades), and your results on admissions tests such as the SAT, ACT, TOEFL or IELTS. Sometimes other academic achievements, such as internships or extracurricular activities, are also included in the evaluation.
Who determines the amount of academic scholarship?
The college admissions committee decides whether you will receive an academic scholarship, and how high it is. The better your grades and test scores, the better your chances of getting a higher scholarship. Slamstox helps you convert your grades to American standards, the application process and preparation for admission tests – so you get the best grades and your academic scholarship will be as high as possible.
Combine smartly with a sports scholarship
For American coaches, it is interesting if you as a student-athlete receive an academic scholarship. This means less budget from the sports team to make your studies possible. So a good academic background makes you even more attractive to a team. Want to know more about how sports and scholarships are combined? Then read on here or contact us.
