Athletic Scholarships -- Another great way to get scholarship money for college is with an athletic scholarship. Athletic scholarships are awarded by many colleges and universities on the basis of the individual’s athletic skills. Students with great athlete skills in high school might receive an athletic scholarship to pay for their college education. Examples of these scholarships include track scholarships, softball scholarships, baseball scholarships, tennis scholarships, soccer scholarships and golf scholarships.

NCAA -- National Collegiate Athletic Association

NCAA is the largest and most influential intercollegiate athletic association. The largest colleges and universities are members of the NCAA. Furthermore, NCAA is comprised of three different Divisions I, II and III. Currently there are more than 1,200 different member institutions of higher learning in the NCAA, accommodating more than 444,000 student-athletes, in 23 different sports, who compete on 18,000 different teams in all three Divisions. Under NCAA regulations, Division I and Division II member universities can award athletic scholarships that are exclusively based on the student applicant’s athletic ability. However, Division III member schools are prohibited from this practice and may only award financial aid based on the student’s financial need or academic merit. Be sure to complete your FAFSA financial aid application, which determines your eligibility for many types of financial aid.

NJCAA -- National Junior College Athletic Association NJCAA members consist of Junior (2-year) and community college’s athletic departments in the U.S. NJCAA is the second largest national intercollegiate athletic association. It is divided into three Divisions I, II, and III across 24 geographic Regions. Currently there over 500 member colleges in 43 states, accommodating over 60,000 student-athletes competing in 28 different sports. Under NJCAA, Division I and II colleges can offer full or partial athletic scholarships. Division III colleges do not offer any funding for the student-athletes. The eligibility requirements and athletic scholarship rules may vary by member colleges. The Student- athletes who are applying to Division III colleges may still qualify for need-based financial aid. Be sure to complete your FAFSA financial aid application, which determines your eligibility for many types of financial aid.

NAIA -- National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics NAIA is a smaller athletic association than NCAA. NAIA members are comprised of smaller 4-year colleges and universities.

Currently, there are about 300 member institutions, accommodating more than 60,000 student athletes, in 13 different sports in both Divisions.
