<p>I am potential Running Recruit for the 2016 Class, and im wondering if there is a decent amount of money for athletes to receive at least something? Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!</p>
<p>If you’re a woman, yes. If you’re a man, maybe, but only if you’re good.</p>
<p>If you are recruited by UCLA, you will be given a full scholarship that covers tuition along with room and board. You will also be given university benefits, such as receiving priority enrollment and a supply of UCLA apparel.</p>
<p>However, in accordance to NCAA bylaws, you cannot receive other gifts or monetary supplements in addition to what you are given. These things range from free dinners to even a free car ride. If you do, it’ll be considered a violation of the NCAA and you can be released from the team and even cause your school to face sanctions.</p>
<p>So in short, you won’t receive additional money like a professional athlete would. You would only receive a scholarship that covers tuition, room and board, and various other university related necessities.</p>
<p>Or rather, if you’re offered a full scholarship by UCLA the above will hold. Unfortunately, scholarship space is very limited, so unless you’re very good you’re unlikely to get a full scholarship.</p>
<p>Your best bet is to contact the coaches. And read this site: [UCLA</a> BRUINS - Recruiting](<a href=“http://www.uclabruins.com/recruiting/]UCLA”>http://www.uclabruins.com/recruiting/)</p>
<p>yeah ive been in communication with the coach. ucla is my top choice among others, as ive been going back and forth with other schools. </p>
<p>Also would being from New Jersey be a factor? like would that help my chances maybe?</p>
<p>Also, what about some of the perks being a ucla athlete? like dorms, classes, etc?
ive been also seriously talking to uPenn for running, although its always been my dream to go to ucla</p>
