If you plan on playing a division I or division II sport in college, you must fill out the NCAA clearinghouse. We recommend this be done in the Spring of your Junior year.

 

NCAA - Division I and II colleges can offer athletic scholarships; Division III colleges (most smaller, private colleges) cannot. Before an athlete can play a sport or receive a scholarship at a Division I or II college, he/she must meet NCAA's academic requirements. Division III athletes do not need to meet NCAA academic requirements.

NAIA - NAIA colleges can award full or partial scholarships. To pay a sport or receive an athletic scholarship, an athlete must meet 2 of the following 3 NAIA requirements:

• Have the required ACT or SAT score
• Have an overall 2.0 GPA
• Graduate in the top half of his/her class
