This is good news for the players. In division 1 a coach can divide the "12" scholarships between a larger number of hockey players. Say 25 partial scholarships instead of 12 full ride. If you are good enough of course then a full ride scholarship is always on the cards. There are 77 division 1 and 26 division 2 colleges that offer field hockey scholarships. That's a total of 1,087.9 scholarships available in the NCAA. Don't just concentrate on the top division 1 colleges, many of these bigger schools usually have a large number of potential athletes that they are actively recruiting. The competition is cut throat, unless you are one of the best field hockey players you wont receive a scholarship offer. There is nothing wrong with smaller division 1or division 2 colleges. Remember, its your education that's important. |
