<p>Just wondering does Virginia offer athletic scholarships for track and field? I know of one girl that got one, but I heard duke doesnt give any scholarships for track...</p>

<p>Please let me know</p>

<p>Email the coach if you're serious enough to get recruited. If not, I doubt you would get all that much scolarship money anyways for track.</p>

<p>Yes, but not many.</p>

<p>lots of track scholarships are partial scholarships</p>

<p>Yup! One of my friends is applying for some. They're supposed to be hard to get, but if you're good then you should have a great shot. Good luck! ^_^</p>

<p>runj0 - there are no full scholarships for track and field anymore.</p>

<p>UVA considered track and field a third tier sport. As a third tier sport, they only provide limited grants-in-aid or need-based aid as they have a minimal operating budget. I don't believe they offer any scholarships, but I'm not entirely sure. Maybe there's a loophole around that.</p>

<p>EDIT: Duke DOES offer scholarships. I have a buddy there on scholarship (King, the 400m runner), but I don't see why anyone would want to compete there anyway. They are the joke of the NCAA.</p>
