A Stockton scholar scholarship is a $4000 scholarship for students attending a 4-year college/university and a $1000 dollar scholarship for students who plan to attend a 2-year community college or trade school. Since Delta is a community college it is now free to attend, you can also grow more within it and then transfer to another school depending on your aspirations. You can also get more recognition there and get noticed there if you’re planning on playing sports and getting a sports scholarship with good grades and skills. Here’s the link to go through the SUSD scholarship process: SUSD Scholarship Application Process.docx – Google Docs

The first thing colleges look at if you’re planning on getting a scholarship is your grades so make sure you stay on top of you’re work and be the best athlete you can be. Be a STUDENT-ATHLETE, as you can see student comes before an athlete because you can be an amazing athlete but without the grades, you can only go so far. So going to a community college and finding out your aspirations then transferring is a really good option.
