About the Author:

Don Campbell has been a college athlete, a university professor and the father of three successful collegiate athletes. In talking with recruited athletes he kept hearing a common theme: they all wished that they had known at the start of the recruiting process the things that they had learned by the end. Don decided to write The Sports Scholarship Handbook to help student athletes to understand college recruiting and to prepare in advance for the kind of surprises they may meet along the way.

For 10 years, Don has been a member of a selection committee for a statewide college scholarship fund. In this role he has had the privilege of reading hundreds of scholarship applications and has participated in the awarding non-athletic scholarships to hundreds of students. This experience has given him insight into college costs, financial aid and scholarship selection processes.
