Athletic scholarships US universities

[Roja9]

Is anyone's DC at a US university with athletic scholarship and happy to talk about the following:

1. full ride or partial?
2. if partial, what are the extras you are paying for over and above the cost of attendance? Did you expect this or was it more than you expected?
3. if your DC has graduated, did they have difficulty getting U.K. employers to recognise the US degree?
4. would you recommend the experience to other student athletes from the U.K.?

We're weighing up some options and would really like to hear from parents and students who've gone down this route.

Thank-you

Totally agree that not all parts of US are no-go, and that employers do look at overseas study as positive.

In our case, covid restrictions disadvantaged DD’s sport hugely, rendering athlete recruitment and sports scholarships void, resulting in loss of form - too late to regain formal performance times for submissions. It was therefore not financially viable in the end for UG studies, but also not quite right in the end for what she wanted to study.
