+30 It's frustrating how high school athletes can get full university or college scholarships without too much trouble, but to get an academic scholarship of equal value you are required to have a GPA of over 4.0, amirite?

Did someone not get a scholarship?

How come nobody gives scholarships for merit? There are some GREAT people, with GREAT life experiences that would be a wonderful addition to a college, but, they may never afford it or not have really high grades to support it.

getting an athletic scholarship is about the same pain as getting an academic scholarship even though the jocks dont get schooled their passion is for sports its no diff from the people in love with school and have an academic scholarship

college is suppost to be for learning, the only reasons colleges want those people is so they can have a good sports teams. pretty shallow if you ask me. it doesnt matter if they go through the same pain, college should not be about sports.

but why do you have to talk about it,some people may not have anything good at except that only sport,maybe thats why they have colleges for them so everyone can have an opportunity and have no excuse to sit on their buts and be lazy.
