Did you know Division III schools do not offer athletic scholarships and Division II schools may only offer partial athletic scholarships? If you have a great grade point average or a great ACT/SAT score you can qualify for academic funds from these schools. Be sure to discuss this with the college coaches and the admissions departments of the schools you are speaking with. There is also needs based fund and merit scholarships. You should discuss these options with a counselor at your high school.
Division II and III schools offer a great balance of academic and athletic opportunities and can be a great fit for many of our athletes. Consider all Divisions when contacting college coaches, and remember there are only 327 Division I schools and typically they offer 1-3 full scholarships per year. This is at the most 990 full rides per year and with the amount of athletes playing volleyball in any given year, your chances for a DI scholarship are very low, 1-3%.
