Academy ‘Dives’ Into Athletic Scholarships
As part of Adelphi Academy’s College Preparatory Program and the school’s Weekly Assembly Program, the Academy recently held an “Athletic Scholarship Assembly” in its Lockwood Auditorium, named after the school’s founder.
Students listened and watched attentively as guest Paul Apostolakis gave a presentation, which included media presentations on how to pursue an athletic scholarship.
Apostolakis is a Bay Ridge resident who attended Rider University on a full athletic scholarship in competitive diving. He stressed the importance of planning early in pursuing the colleges and universities of choice. He also stressed the importance of seeking the aid of one’s coaches and committing to many long hours of practice, study and volunteer work.
