Basketball is sponsored by more schools than any other intercollegiate sport. NAIA team sizes above include JV players. NCAA I basketball is a headcount sport, so the scholarship limits of 13 for men and 15 for women represent the maximum number of awards. NCAA II basketball is an equivalency sport so partial scholarships can be awarded to meet the limit per school. For example, an NCAA II school can award 15 players each a 2/3 scholarship and still meet the limit of 10 per team. scholarship limits for more information.

* Average Athletic Scholarship is the average annual award per athlete for ALL varsity sports sponsored by the specific school. Some athletes receive full awards, some receive partial and many receive none. Additionally some sports within a school may be fully funded, some partially and some sports provide no athletic scholarships. Private schools generally have higher tuition than public schools and the average award will reflect this.
