This study started as a research project to look into semi-scholarship student athletes sub-cultures, not as an exploration but as a kind of deep understanding, naming them as sub-cultural elements in college sport organizations. The research methods were to conduct a survey through the questionaires as to whether they had ever got through any difficulties, discrimination, sorrowfulness, or alienation, and as to what they were in detail if they had any. Some interviews were carried out on three colleges semi-scholarship student athletes regarding their academic activities, sports, and future careers. The research findings are as follows. They face difficult matters as sub-culture elements like below. The first matters that harass them are tuition, team-presentation classes, lecture participation, lecture materials, unfair credits, and exclusion from C0. The second harassing matters are shelters and foods, performance, drilling sessions, and exercise amounts, The harassing matters are whether to quit sport careers, whether to thrust into professional teams, how to deal with crisis and chance and who they are as those standing on boundary lines. I expect this thesis to be a turning-point to look back on what mechanism is behind semi-scholarship student athletes academic activities, sport activities, and future careers in greater depth with microscopic perspectives. From the macroscopic points of view, this thesis will bring about positive interpretations about semi-scholar student athletes ideas and views, who comprise the culture of sport circles.
