<p>i wanted to know if billiards and snooker are counted as an extra cirricular activity?????</p>
<p>If you are really good, it can be a way to pay for your education.</p>
<p>thank you…:)…i play on a proffesional basis…</p>
<p>by " pay for education" do u mean like a billiards scholarship or something??? ( do they even have those )…??? or like play for money???</p>
<p>There may be billiards scholarships out there. I’d look into them. They’re not offered by MIT, though - MIT is need-based only. But you can use scholarship towards your MIT tuition.</p>
<p>OperaDad may have meant through gambling 
But apologies if I misunderstood! There are probably scholarships for that stuff, but they may not be sizable enough to pay the bill for a college.</p>
<p>^ That works, too 
Just don’t ever gamble more than you can afford to lose.</p>
<p>There are a lot of niche scholarships, so no harm looking.</p>
<p>Gambling or competitions, whatever floats your boat. Cash can be easily used at any college to pay tuition and fees.</p>
<p>true…it wouldnt be a bad idea…easy money…;)</p>
<p>but it is still an extra cirricular activity???right???</p>
<p>Do you participate in a league, or play on a regular schedule? When you say professional, are you supporting yourself - because then it’s a job or profession, no extra curricular.</p>
<p>well i play on a state and national level…i dont make money out of it… not a cent…</p>
<p>I put it in the class of athletic abilities that are not a sport the school offers. What if you were a ranked amateur NASCAR driver? Or a sail boat racer (whatever they are called)? Or climbed Mt Everest at the age of 18?</p>
<p>yeah…its something i do on my own… externally…</p>
