Student-Athletes
More
than 460,000 NCAA student-athletes – more than ever before –
compete in 24 sports every year. Member schools support their
student-athletes’ academic success by providing state-of-the-art
technology, tutoring and access to academic advisors. More than eight
out of 10 student-athletes will earn a bachelor’s degree, and more
than 35 percent will earn a postgraduate degree. The advantages of
competing in college sports are both
immediate and lifelong.
Participating in college sports provides opportunities to learn
compete and succeed. Student-athletes receive top-notch academic
support, quality medical care and regular access to outstanding
coaching, facilities and equipment. Student-athletes as a group
graduate at higher rates than their peers in the general student body
and feel better prepared for life after college.
· College-bound
student-athletes preparing to enroll in a Division I or Division II
school need to register
with the NCAA Eligibility Center to
ensure they have met amateurism standards and are academically
prepared for college coursework.
