Student athlete

A student athlete (sometimes written "student-athlete") is a participant in an organized competitive sport sponsored by the educational institution in which he or she is enrolled.

Description

Student athletes are usually subject to eligibility rules that may require them to maintain a certain grade point average [ [http://www.kcci.com/news/15784125/detail.html Controversial Student-Athlete Rules Changed] ] and may bar them from participating in professional competition. Aside from scholarships, many are also prohibited from receiving special treatment or incentives based on their athletic abilities.
