Hoping to be a D1 Athlete and I need info on this. Can anyone share a reliable list of D1 schools around the U.S? Thanks in advance for your help!
Unfortunately, it's not feasible to list all D-1 schools in a direct forum post due to the extensive number of schools that would have to be mentioned. However, you can find the comprehensive list of all Division I colleges and universities on the official NCAA website.
The list contains over 340 educational institutions that have the Division I label, covering public, private, state schools, technological institutes, and liberal arts colleges, and it spans across regions from the East Coast to the West Coast, incorporating numerous states.
When exploring these options, it would be helpful to have some clear criterias in mind to narrow down your search, such as your preferred sport, academic fields, the college's geographic location, size, and environment, as well as the level of competition in your particular sport. Moreover, you should also consider the potential availability of scholarships and their eligibility requirements since not all Division I schools offer athletic scholarships for all sports.
Starting with a wide list like the one on the NCAA website and then narrowing it down based on your personal preferences and goals can be an effective strategy that balances both your academic and athletic career aspirations. Best of luck on your search and prospective athletic journey!
