 |
|
Well, I just got the PSAT's back and I did a lot better than I did last year. My grades are good and I am involved with a regular job, but I'm the oldest of six kids and need to start thinking about college finances. Do you guys know of any American colleges or universities (any "tier" or quality school, please) that offer scholorships for tae kwon do, judo, or any other martial art? I think this info would benefit not only me but the other teenage members of the forum. Thanks a lot!

I doubt it. I don't think any of the martial arts are official NCAA sanctioned sports.
Now if you were to become an outstanding fencer in the next 2 years

Damn straight. The niche sports are where the huge $$$/person ratio is, with Title 9 and all. Fencing...field hockey...SYNCRONIZED SKATING... CHEERLEADING..!
It's a good time to be a girl looking for a sports scholorship.
three60roundhouse- after I took my PSAT's a few years ago was when I started getting more mail than my parents did (from all the colleges). Look forward to that. |

| Ha. I remember doing the sat's when you're 12 thing. How rediculous that was. When I took them for real I scored higher on the math half than I did on both when I was in middle school (~13). |

Haha. Yeah, but the scary thing was that as a 12 year old I did better in verbal than the national average...and it wasn't good at all 
My combined score? Hahaha. Math? What's that

fencing is expensive! I looked it up before. Besides, I'm not really interested in it. I had a friend who did it and, it's not very exciting.

Rowing is the way to go for scholarships. Colleges tend to give scholarships away like pez in some staes for rowing. And it's a good workout too..
