How long does a scholarship last?
Sports scholarships typically have an initial term of one year, but are usually extended annually until the completion of the degree if the athlete maintains their level of performance and remains eligible to play in the league. The maximum duration of an athletic scholarship is usually 4 years if you start your studies as a freshman, which corresponds to the time needed for a complete bachelor’s degree.
