Which sports?
Athletic scholarships are awarded for the following sports: baseball, basketball, crew (rowing), cross-country, fencing, football (American), golf, gymnastics, ice hockey, indoor track, lacrosse, skiing, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, track and field, volleyball, water polo, women’s field hockey and wrestling. Archery, badminton, bowling, equestrian sports and squash have been designated as ‘emerging sports’ and scholarships in these sports are available to women only in an effort to achieve gender equity (equality between men’s and women’s scholarships). A few universities offer martial arts, riflery, rodeo, rugby and sailing, but very few of those (if any) will offer these sports on a scholarship basis.
