What schools offer scholarships in my sport?
The NCAA, NAIA, and NJCAA have thousands of member schools combined. And there are athletic scholarships offered at most of them except for Division 3. The NCAA oversees 23 different sports and the NAIA covers 13. While not every single school may have your sport, there are still hundreds of opportunities to find an athletic scholarship. And not every sport is sanctioned by the NCAA or NAIA, so you’ll need to make sure that there are collegiate opportunities to find an athletic scholarship.
In order to find a school that will best fit you both academically and athletically, you’ll need to do your research. Start looking into the different regions of the U.S. where you think you might want to attend college. You can start looking into schools that you’re interested and whether their sports team might be an opportunity for you. Use the Athnet Database to help you find the best school for you.
Once you find programs you’re interested in, you need to contact the college coaches and introduce yourself. Communication is crucial when it comes to getting recruited and earning a scholarship, so you need to put in the work.
