Listed on the following page is the number of athletic scholarships any one NCAA, NAIA, or NJCAA university can award in a given year. Remem-ber that an athlete who receives a scholarship to play a head count sport (basketball, football, women’s gymnastics, women’s tennis, or women’s vol-leyball) will always be given a full-ride scholarship, whereas an athlete who receives a scholarship to play an equivalency sport might receive only a partial scholarship. Therefore, the 4.5 scholarships offered by a Division I men’s golf program might go to five students (four full scholarships and one partial scholarship), nine students (nine partial scholarships), or any other variation that amounts to 4.5 full scholarships.
