Navigating the eschaton. The eschaton is something to be avoided and something to be courted. It is a virtual singularity of human consciousness marking the end of the historical epoch. In itself it is a neutral event, one to be reckoned with. It is a point of leverage for wielding the human spirit.
Student-Athletes. More than 460,000 NCAA student-athletes â more than ever before â compete in 23 sports every year. Member schools support their student-athletesâ academic success by providing state-of-the-art technology, tutoring and access to academic advisors. More than eight out of 10 student-athletes will earn a bachelorâs degree, and more than 35 percent will earn a postgraduate degree.
Out of the millions of students enrolled in college, less than 20,000 across the country will receive the golden ticket of scholarships. Even those who are star athletes donât have much of a chance at scoring a full-ride scholarship. In fact, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) reports that only about two percent of high school athletes are awarded scholarships and many of those do not cover full tuition or other expenses.
