\"CanAre you a high school cheerleader with hopes of winning a cheerleading scholarship? <\/span><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, cheerleading isn\u2019t recognized by the NCAA as a sport. So, for that reason, there is less funding available for college cheerleaders. It\u2019s not likely you will be able to win a full-ride scholarship. <\/span><\/p>\n

There aren\u2019t many full-ride cheerleading scholarships, but many schools offer smaller scholarships. They also may offer small stipends to cover the cost of food, housing, and travel expenses.<\/span><\/p>\n
