“Hi Coach Knoll - just a note to let you know that working with you and American College Placement was the perfect decision for my son! Involving you and your firm was exactly what got us over the recruiting hurdles that we were facing. Your assistance led my son Joe to a track scholarship at the University of Florida! His dream is to run at a D1 premier program and you definitely helped us get that! Thank you!”
Available College Cross Country Scholarships
Division I Cross Country Scholarships
Only 12.6 men will receive the scholarship for track and field and cross country category at division one schools; competition is tough. While women have a higher ceiling in scholarships at 18.0, this does not mean that competition is any less strenuous. Fighting for a spot on a Division 1 program of any sport is difficult. This is especially true of cross country, a sport that is won by dedicated students who put in constant hard work, not only in the sport but in the classroom as well.
Division II Cross Country Scholarships
Breaking into Division II sports is very difficult as well, and cross country recruiting professionals focus on grades when making their decision for who is the best possible candidate to receive a scholarship. These scholarships are designated for those who not only show excellent finishes while competing but also perform academically.
At American College Placement, we are dedicated to helping students find any and every cross country scholarship for which they may be eligible. This may be at Division I or II institutions, but there are additional options to explore, including: Division III, NAIA and/or NJCAA.
