Bowling Scholarships
Bowling has strong competition at the college level, particularly in Divisions I and II, where some of the top talent has a chance to earn substantial scholarship dollars. While collegiate bowling in the NCAA is only open to women, there are scholarships for male bowlers as well
Bowling scholarships are offered only to women. Most of the time bowling coaches do not actively scout athletes because they do not have the recruiting budget.
There are over 50,000 high school bowlers in the USA, and only 70+ colleges offer scholarships. If you want to be recruited, you must be proactive during this process

My son has started his USA rugby scholarship journey. In a very short space of time he’s had his first offer of interest. FirstPoint USA have been excellent - no waffle, straight talking about the reality of what happens and quick to respond to our queries.
