College Bound Athletes NCAA/NAIA Eligibility

Athletic Scholarship Facts 3% of high school student-athletes receive a scholarship Less than 1% receive a D1 scholarship 26% of students who enter college on an athletic scholarship as a freshmen, are no longer on scholarship entering their sophomore year 80% of scholarship/financial Aid opportunities are Not on the D1 level. National stats and LSW falls in this range. A college has to want to recruit your student. If you are interested in a college ask the coach/recruiting coordinator if you can take an official visit.

Scholarship myth There is no such thing as a 4 year “Full Ride” D1 schools have the option to guarantee more than 1 year (most do not) All athletic D2 scholarships are 1 year renewable

Athletic Scholarships Differ D1 – Men-Football, Basketball may not be divided Women-basketball, Volleyball, Gymnastics & tennis may not be divided. All other sports are divided DII/NAIA, all sports divided. Divided means that the total program scholarship amount is split between all scholarship players. The scholarship amount may be 12% to 25% of a full scholarship.
