I live in California and I really want to to to University of Arizona the University of Oregon, ASU or Oregon State university to play football. Either of the four. What I am worried about is costs. It will be a lot of money to go to these schools. How can i apply for scholarships and will a football scholarship cover a lot of the costs?

Best Answer:

Generally football scholarships will cover all tuition, room and board, and other essential fees like textbooks, regardless of the cost of a particular school. Since student-athletes on scholarship are expected to spend their "free" time in practice, they can't take on part-time jobs and therefore usually lack extra money for socializing. I've had a lot of college football players complain that they lost girlfriends because they couldn't take them out on a date. However, the essential costs of college are always covered.

Answers:
