Faced with the daunting task of raising athletic scholarship funds to a minimum of $250,000 by the 2005-06 academic year, the Sonoma State University Department of Intercollegiate Athletics came up with a unique plan.

In early November Ralph Leef of the Press Democrat, the local Sonoma County newspaper, did a story on the SSU's plan to create "Seawolf Stables" (the Seawolf is SSU's mascot).

According to the Press Democrat, "SSU supporters came up with the racehorse idea in an attempt to help SSU's athletic program meet a new NCAA requirement to increase its athletic scholarship fund or lose its Division II affiliation".

The two horses, Seawolf and Sonoma Slew, were selected by Tom Bachman, owner of Pegasus Ranch in Petaluma, California.

Do this, do that---get good grades, go to college.

"The best advice I can pass along if you plan to compete athletically at the college level is to start asking questions," said Dempsey.

Indeed, asking questions about athletic scholarships will get you started in the right direction.

Only 0.3% make the starting rotation at big Division I schools like Duke or UCLA.

Though Division III schools don't give athletic scholarships at all, it's important to know that they sometimes find other ways of helping student athletes financially.

For example, if you already qualify for financial aid, the school is allowed to replace loan money with grant money.

All About Athletic Scholarships

A scholarship is money awarded to a student to help finance a college education.

There is always the chance that the financial aid award you are offered once you have been accepted to a college will not be enough to cover all your costs, from tuition to books to room and board.

The biggest scholarships usually go to athletes in major sports such as football, basketball or baseball.

If you show promise as a high school athlete, you may be eligible for an athletic scholarship.

In order to be considered you should be involved in either club sports or high school team sports.

They are divided into different levels of competition; NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III, and NAIA.

Leggett believes that allowing athletic scholarships in Ontario would attract top athletes like Tommy Dennison.

The call for full athletic scholarships at Queen's has resurfaced, after the Canadian Interuniversity Sports Association released a report Feb. 9.

Principal William Leggett told the University of Toronto news service last year that the lack of full athletic scholarships in Ontario makes a level playing field across Canada impossible.

Western Canada leads the pack with $550 dollars of athletic scholarships available per registered student.

It was three years ago that the CIS ruled universities should have to disclose all the money they allot to athletic scholarships.

When you don't hear athletes talking about this, well, you hear their parents.

Few people are actually asking the coaches, and most of what you hear is rumor or conjecture.

As a former scholarship track athlete at UCLA and someone who had a personal interest in seeing my daughter acquire an athletic scholarship, let me share with you what I have learned.

It is always surprising to learn how little athletes and their parents may know about how good you have to be to obtain a college athletic scholarship.

Obviously, every school has its own standard; however, Purdue University provided a nice set of guidelines (a few years back) for a top Division 1 school.
