Scholarship Qualifications

Scholarship Qualifications

Tough split, guys. (Get it? Get it?) Bowling scholarships are only offered to women in the NCAA—and there aren't that many of them. (We mean scholarships, not women.)

A typical team roster is between 8 and 10 players, and there's a limit of five scholarships given out per Division-I or -II team (no scholarships for Division III). However, bowling is an equivalency sport. This means that a Division-I team could select 10 players and award each one of them a partial scholarship (source).

The good news: if you make it onto a Division-I or -II team, you've got a decent shot at receiving some scholarship money. The bad news: it's very, very hard to make it onto a Division-I or -II team.
