Skiing is an equivalency sport for
NCAA scholarship purposes, so partial scholarships can
be awarded in any proportion to meet the limit per school.
For example, an NCAA I school can award 14 women skiers
each a 1/2 scholarship and still meet the limit of 7 per
team. See our page on
scholarship limits for more information.
Most NCAA programs are Alpine skiing teams, but several teams compete in
Nordic skiing as well. * Average athletic scholarship is the average award per athlete for ALL varsity sports sponsored by the 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. |

NCAA skiing has significant percentages of foreign student athletes competing within Divisions I & II. These athletes are not included in the US High School participants base so our odds of a US Alpine Skier competing at the Collegiate level have been adjusted to reflect this factor. |
