Not all athletic scholarships are full ride like basketball and football, so called "head count sports"; most are classed as "equivalency sports", like college rowing. Put simply this means that coaches can "share" their allocation between a larger number of athletes. This is good news for the athletes. In division 1 we see that a coach can divide his/her "20" scholarships between a larger number of Rowers. Say 30 partial scholarships instead of 20 full ride scholarships. If you are good enough of course then a full ride is always a chance. There are 84 division 1 and 15 division 2 colleges that offer rowing scholarships.
