Maybe that's why I'm not a big fan of point sparring....aka glorified tag Once in a while it's ok, but I can't imagine focusing on it!

i meant to use the tag actually... but anyhoo. i did just a little foil fencing, and i thought it had some great lessons wrt timing an distance... but yeah, it didn't work for me either...

now rowing, yeah you could get on that team with little experience at many schools

Do a little reserch into it, colleges are more than welcome to show any athelete there facilities and give you more information if you attend their school. Use the net to find colleges that offer these teams and apply accordingly to what suits you needs. (find the best deal)

I've heard of judo scholarships, but nothing for other MAs. I'll try to find some info on it.

You might want to consider the military, I got my AA and paid about a grand total of $800, and that was just for books. Plus the G.I. Bill pays about $950 a month just for going full time, and that doesnt count any service specific college fund. The military encourages it's members to advance their education in many different ways.
As far as how this ties into MA, each service has teams that compete on several levels and getting on one of these teams is a special duty, this gives you extra pay and alot of flexibility. Even if you aren't on one of these teams, the military will offer you a great amount of exposure to other MA, I have never been to a base where there wasn't at least one type offered on base and several off base. Hope this helps.
