<p>I take it you’re a senior. Are you talking about athletic scholarships from colleges that want you to play for them? If that’s the case, then it’s very late. Many recruited athletes apply and are accepted early to their chosen schools, others apply in the regular decision period. At this point we’re pretty much past both those things. There are a lot of rolling admission colleges where you could still apply, and depending on the level of the team perhaps walk-on and play very successfully, too, but the availability of athletic scholarships for the entering class of fall '09 is probably slim-to-none.</p>

<p>There other kinds of scholarships for athletes, though. Many high schools and communities, sports clubs and local civic organizations will have scholarships (usually smallish ones, but still great to get) for students who were involved in athletics. Your high school athletic director or counselor would be a good source of information as to whether any of those are open for application. This is about the time of year, here at least, where the local scholarships are all published and begin accepting applications… so it’s a great time to quickly get on top of those possibilities.</p>

<p>There is a lot of good athletic info in the athletic recruit forum found here:
