Hi,
Although cheerleading is not an area of study in college, many colleges and universities offer top notch cheerleading programs (here is a top 40 list for you to check out: http://cheerdaily.com/top-40-colleges-to-cheer/).
My biggest piece of advise if you keep cheering until college is to pick a school based on some academic areas of interest (business, teaching, biology, english, etc) as well as their cheer program. Although cheering is a big part of your life now, your body cannot physically keep doing it forever which is why, in addition to cheering in college, you should find another area of interest that could lead to a career path.
Some great advantages of cheering both in high school and college are as follows:
1) Cheering show that you can excel both in school and keep up with an extracurricular activity, and this looks good on college applications!
2) It is great exercise! Having a healthy work out routine can keep you focused and less stressed, which is really important in college
3) Some colleges offer scholarships for cheerleading
Best of luck with your cheer competitions and remember, start finding other areas of interest to focus on in addition to cheerleading so that when you are ready for college you can also find a career path while you are cheering!
