Question 2

Do baseball players get full scholarships?

Accepted Answer

Many college baseball players receive full and partial scholarships to play baseball at the college level. Athletic scholarships, especially full-ride scholarships, are very competitive. Athletics scholarships are offered through the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), and the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA); these three collegiate associations oversee and regulate all college athletics programs in the United States.

Question 3

How hard is it to get a baseball scholarship?

Accepted Answer

Baseball scholarships are quite competitive. The NCAA reports that only about 1.3% of students receive full or partial athletic scholarships. In the 2016-2017 school year, for example, only 9 percent of high school baseball players went on to play at the college level, with an even smaller percentage playing NCAA Division I baseball. However, athletes seeking financial aid can also apply for other types of scholarships that have higher success rates.
