Only 2 percent of high school athletes are given the opportunity to play college level sports on scholarship. This means that The rest of college student athletes have to pay full tuition unless given partial athletic scholarships.  A full division I athletic scholarship includes financial help for tuition, housing, and meals.

If an athlete were to get injured who was on scholarship, the athlete cannot lose their scholarship.  The NCAA provides an injury insurance program, which states that any athlete that suffers from a catastrophic injury will be covered by the NCAA Catastrophic Injury Insurance Program.
