Rodeo is not an official NCAA, NAIA or NJCAA sport and  there are no  limits imposed by these associations on athletic scholarships for participation on varsity rodeo teams. The governing body for college rodeo competitions is the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association (NIRA) which includes both varsity and club programs. Virtually all collegiate rodeo teams are co-ed.

*Average athletic scholarship in the table below is the average amount of athletically related student aid 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.
