Hiya folks. Does anyone have a reliable link or source where I can check out all NCAA Division 1 schools? I'm pretty good at sports and might aim for an athletic scholarship as a backup plan, hence my interest.
Hello! While CollegeVine doesn't have an exhaustive list specifically tailored to NCAA Division 1 schools, some general methods to find the list you're looking for are:
1. NCAA's website itself: Under the "Schools" tab of their website, you can filter by division level, sports category, and many other features, to pinpoint the schools that line up with your athletic aspirations.
2. Dashboard in College Board's Big Future: Although not specifically for athletics, you can utilize their large number of filters to narrow your search. Look specifically for schools participating in Division 1 athletics under the 'Sports & Activities' category.
3. U.S. News College Rankings: While it's primarily known for its academic rankings, U.S. News also categorizes colleges by sports division in its profile pages. However, you'd need to visit each individual school's information page.
Remember to also factor in the academic and social environment of the schools you're considering. An athletic scholarship can give you a fantastic opportunity at these colleges, but you need to ensure the rest of what the college offers aligns with your academic and career goals too. Good luck with your college search!
