Rifle is an equivalency sport for NCAA scholarship limits, so partial awards can be awarded in any proportion as long as they don’t exceed the limit of 3.6 per school. Most rifle teams are coed, although there are some schools with separate men’s & women’s teams. Rifle is a separate and distinct event from shotgun / shooting sports.

* 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.
