Athletic Scholarship Dispute Form

Athletic scholarship disputes can be complex, involving academic requirements, athletic performance expectations, financial aid calculations, and NCAA compliance regulations. Whether you're a student-athlete questioning scholarship reductions, addressing performance standard concerns, or seeking clarification on financial aid calculations, having a structured dispute resolution process is essential.

This Athletic Scholarship Dispute Form template helps college athletic departments, compliance offices, and student-athletes manage scholarship disagreements professionally and transparently. The form captures all necessary information about the original scholarship agreement, the nature of the dispute, supporting documentation, and desired outcomes—ensuring both parties have a clear record of the concerns raised.

Built with Paperform, this template includes conditional logic that adapts based on dispute type, whether it's related to academic performance, athletic performance, financial aid discrepancies, or NCAA compliance questions. The form can collect supporting documents like scholarship letters, academic transcripts, and performance reviews, while maintaining secure data handling that respects FERPA requirements.

After submission, you can use Stepper (stepper.io) to automatically route disputes to the appropriate department (Athletic Director, Compliance Office, Financial Aid, or Faculty Athletic Representative), create case numbers, schedule mediation meetings, and keep all stakeholders updated throughout the resolution process. This automation ensures no dispute falls through the cracks and provides transparent timelines for student-athletes awaiting review.

For schools requiring formal agreements or settlement documentation, Papersign (papersign.com) can transform resolution outcomes into legally binding agreements with secure eSignatures, creating an auditable trail from initial dispute through final resolution.

This template is ideal for NCAA Division I, II, and III institutions, NAIA schools, junior colleges, and any athletic program offering scholarship support. It helps athletic directors, compliance officers, financial aid administrators, and student advocates manage disputes fairly while maintaining regulatory compliance and positive student-athlete relationships.
