Im not sure that powerlifting gets many scholarships donated. I would imagine them to be aimed more towards Olympic lifts, if anything. Its not unthinkable but I imagine you would have to be an incredible natural powerlifter to get a scholarship. A college is not going to be interested in how well you could place in a PL federation but how well you can do against your peers (college students under the same rules). How many colleges really could be competing in this? On the other hand its possible that you could use powerlifting/strongman to further yourself in football and get a scholarship that way.


Its really just not a collegiate activity, though it has its place within other sports.
