Most high school students who plan to go away to college need to borrow money from a bank to pay between $14,500 and $42,000 each year for four years. That does not include a room, food, books, and other expenses. But high school students with good grades, or extremely good athletes, many receive a scholarship. A sports scholarship has made a big difference to the lives of many young athletes by sending them to college where they can play their sport and study for free.
