While it may not be as popular as football or baseball, several athletic scholarships are available for those that strive for a “strike.” That’s right, we’re talking about bowlers! If you mentioned “turkeys” and “hambones” when describing your last game, then you need to take a look at this list of bowling scholarships. Several sanctioned bowling leagues and associations offer scholarship funds for bowlers who participate in their groups or are residents in their areas. Like many other sports scholarships, many awards also look at an athlete’s academic achievements, community service, and financial need. Don’t spare any time, “pin” down some awards dollars to help pay for college. Browse and apply to our list of bowling scholarships and apply today.
