NCAA Eligibility

What is the NCAA?
The NCAA, or National Collegiate Athletic Association, was established in 1906 and serves as the athletics governing body for more than 1,300 colleges, universities, conferences and organizations. The NCAA membership includes:

  • 335 active Division I members;
  • 288 active Division II members;
  • 432 active Division III members
One of the differences among the three divisions is that colleges and universities in Division I and II may offer athletics scholarships, while Division III colleges and universities may not.
