Rowing

152 Schools sponsor varsity Rowing teams:

Women’s rowing is an equivalency sport  so partial scholarships can  be awarded in any proportion to meet the limit per school; for example,  an NCAA Division I team can award 40 rowers each a 1/2 scholarship and not exceed the NCAA school limit of 20.   See our page on scholarship limits for more information.

Even though it’s the oldest intercollegiate sport in the United States, men’s rowing has never been an official NCAA sport. The Intercollegiate Rowing Association (IRA) is the governing body for varsity Men’s programs while the American Collegiate Rowing Association (ACRA)  is the governing body for club teams and teams not competing under NCAA or IRA governance.

* 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. Private schools generally have higher tuition than public schools and the average award will reflect this.

Do you have the skills to compete in College Rowing?

What level of athlete are coaches looking for and who are you competing with for a roster spot? A good way to get an idea is to look at the high-school bios of rowers currently on the roster of schools that interest you.
