Applying to College

<p>I heard that US colleges recruit sport players. Is ten-pin bowling considered a sport and if so, how could I find out which colleges recruit bowling players? Thanks!</p>

<p>I would be astonished if there are any colleges that recruit bowlers. But anything is possible. There certainly are professional bowlers in the U.S.</p>

<p>But I would say that the fact that a kid (from Hong Kong?) is interested in competitive bowling might make him or her stand out in the application pile.</p>

<p>West Texas A&M is known to recruit bowlers.</p>

<p>The world is so strange that naitouu01 is just as likely to be serious as to be joking, assuming there is such a college as West Texas A&M.</p>

<p>You can get bowling scholarships. I know someone who got a full ride for bowling at Morgan State. Do some searching online, I’m sure there are other colleges too.</p>

<p>Years ago, I was the SAT prep coach for a bowler who had been recruited by a US university and who needed a certain exam score in order to be eligible to enroll there. I think this was the program, but I’m not sure: [Bowling</a> - News - Arkansas State Athletics Official Web Site - astateredwolves.com](<a href=“Women's Bowling - Arkansas State University”>Women's Bowling - Arkansas State University)</p>

<p>HKparent, if you pop by the Hong Kong office of EducationUSA, the counselors there might be able to help you find more answers to this question.

<p>As far as I know, yes they do. My grandma’s best friends grandaughter, who happens to be a senior in HS right now, won the New Jersey state championship in bowling and is going to Vandy next year for bowling coincidentally enough!</p>
