Your College Basketball Scholarship
Athletic Scholarships
Do Scholarships Just Happen??… NO
Most Parents Rarely Know…
how to get their son or daughter an athletic basketball scholarship to help pay for college. In fact, very few high school coaches even know enough to help a great college-bound athlete get recruited – beyond pointing them out to a few college coaches they personally know. Athletes who should have been recruited graduate … unrecruited.
You Can Be An Exception.
Find out how basketball athletic recruiting really works. You can learn the secrets to getting recruited from Jon Fugler & Ron Johnston, co-Authors of The Recruit-Me Athletic Scholarship System. They’ll show you how to run your own campaign using their step-by-step recruiting system – for a fraction of the cost of a recruiting service or consultant. There are a lot of companies out there that promise you will get recruited by using their services, but as I always recommend you can do so much better by doing it yourself. Only you know how to “market” yourself!
We’ve partnered with Recruit-Me to bring this information to you.

Im in the 10th grade I want to go to college out in Spain. That is my dream that is what I really want to do after high school is to go to Spain. I was wondering how do you get recruited to Spain if you live in Washington. I would love it if you email me back thank you.
Q | April 26th, 2007 at 19:19 #
Well you could either go after college or participate in an exchange program while in college. That way you could study and play ball. There are a lot of universities where professional teams are closely located in Spain. HTH

i am a 9th grader in canton,georgia. i really want to go to college overseas and live there too. what do i need to do to get overseas?
Q | May 1st, 2007 at 16:16 #
First research where you want to go. Then find the colleges and teams in the area. They will be more likely to help you especially if they want you to play on their team.

Denis Abuti | July 12th, 2008 at 17:17 #
I am a Kenyan 18 year old and hope to play varsity basketball in the USA soon.I scored 1750 SATs and wonder if it is good enough for an athletic scholarship.What do you think I should do to expose my talent from this far away?How will/can you help me achieve my goals?And what is the recruitment process and deadline?
Q | July 12th, 2008 at 22:22 #
Hi Denis
Your scores would be fine for an athletic scholarship. Here are the details
But the best would be to expose yourself by going to a good high school or play AAU basketball during summer in front of college recruiters. You could send a letter with video of you as well! I hope that helps. The deadline for that you should research at the NCAA website here: http://www.ncaa.org/wps/portal

I am 19 years old and live in Australia. I have been playing basketball all my life and would now love to study and play overseas.
I am looking for a womens basketball scholarship somewhere on the west coast, most likely at a junior college to begin with as i believe that will give me the best chance for exposure for my junior and senior years, where i would love to be playing NCAA Div 1.
How do I go about applying for/finding junior colleges?

will paul | November 21st, 2009 at 14:14 #
this first paragraph is for everyone that has posted, i played three years of college basketball for Stanford in California with the likes of Brook Lopez (NJ NETS) and I can tell you that the only way that i got noticed out of high school and offered a full athletic scholarship was because i played constantly. and not just outside shooting by myself, you have to play organized and in tournaments where scouts will be there to see what you can do. do not think for a second that it will just be handed to you from the heavens.. YOU have to go out and ACHIEVE it!! i know this from my life experience, i’ve been playing organized basketball since i was six. and every summer since the age of 10 i was out on the road every weekend with my teammates playing in tournaments trying hard to achieve my goals. and it does pay off.
Now, i am out of school and no longer playing for Stanford. I am seriously considering turning pro and trying to land a spot on a roster in Europe. Then coming back and getting my degree when that is done.
Im 6ft 10in and played point guard my whole life until i got into college. I have skills that i know a European team would be interested in. My problem is that its a big decision and I dont know where to start. A little help??

Good day sir or madam, I am Akumenzoh Ebaku Nzoh, i am 17 years old, 78 kilo grams of weight and i am 1.96cm tall. I understand that your school offers scholarships to athletics and i wish to be granted this opportunity. For my educational qualification, i am a holder of the First School Leaving Certificate (F.S.L.C.) and the Ordinary Level, General Certificate of Education (O/L,G.C.E). Presently, i am going through my high school course. i am just into it. More to speak, i am a talented basket baller with three of experience in the field. I will definitely be overwhelmed if this opportunity to play college basketball and acquire more skills in the game, is granted to me to study as a law student after i must have obtained my Advance Level, General Certificate of Education (A/L,G.C.E.) in the year 2011. Thanks for understanding
