Hey there, I’ve been thinking about possibly playing sports at the college level but I am more interested in smaller schools. So, I wanted to know - how many NCAA D3 schools are there actually? Does anyone know?
Sure, I can answer that for you. There are over 430 institutions within the NCAA that classify as Division III schools. Division III athletics typically focus on providing a balance between academic and athletic commitment, making them a great choice if you're interested in still playing sports in college but wish to attend a smaller school. Remember, even though these schools do not offer athletic scholarships, there are other forms of financial aid available. Surrounding yourself with a supportive team environment while also focusing on academics can be a valuable part of the college experience. Best of luck!
