There are
287 division I and 246 division
II schools that offer scholarships for baseball. This means that there
are 5,594 scholarships on offer from NCAA
schools. These are not "full ride" scholarships. Baseball is classed as an
equivalency sport which gives the coach the opportunity to divide his
scholarships between a larger number of players. IE: 24 players could
receive a 50% scholarship instead of 12 full ride scholarships.
National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics colleges can offer a maximum of
twelve scholarships per college. Baseball is also classed as a equivalency
sport so a larger number of scholarships can be offered by each college.
The National Junior College Athletic Association allows twenty four
baseball scholarships per member institution. These are
full-ride scholarships but some community college's offer partial grants
in aid.
