Athletic Scholarships

Athletics, or Track & Field as it is known in the USA, is one of the most popular sports within the college system. The first meet between colleges was held in 1874, meaning it is also one of the oldest sports played at the college level. With over 2,200 university athletics teams, American universities and colleges have an abundance of spots to fill, and look all over the world to find the best talent to build their teams.

The college Track & Field system has produced some of the greatest and most famous athletes of all time, like Florence Griffiths-Joyner, Steve Prefontaine, Allyson Felix, and Jesse Owens.
