Women’s NCAA Division I gymnastics is a head-count sport for purposes of awarding athletic scholarships and is an equivalency sport for all other divisions, so partial scholarships can be awarded to meet the limit per school. For example, an NCAA Division II school can award 12 female gymnasts each a 1/2 scholarship and not exceed the limit of 6 per team. See our page on scholarship limits for more information. Gymnastics is a separate and distinct sport from collegiate Acrobatics and Tumbling and Stunt.
* Average Athletic Scholarship is the average annual amount of athletically related student aid 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.
