CAN BEING A STUDENT ATHLETE HELP YOU PAY FOR COLLEGE?
This Sunday evening we'll be talking with Michele Larson, of Knowledge4College, on the topic of student athletes and paying for college. Michele has worked with athletes that played sports in D1, D2, and D3 colleges. She'll be sharing her advise on what you need to know about finding a college you can afford and where your student athlete can still play their sport.

D3 COLLEGES AND FINANCIAL AID DATA
Student athletes have to navigate an additional layer in the college admissions process, as they not only try to find schools that fit academically, socially, and financially, but also athletically. Many student athletes choose to attend schools that are part of the NCAA Division 3 level in an effort to continue with their sport but also have more time for academics and social interests.

Check out our list of D3 Colleges, along with all the financial aid and merit scholarship data to help you find a school where your student can be an athlete and receive need based aid and/or merit scholarships.
