Find College & Private Scholarship Opportunities for Gymnasts
Gymnastics is an incredible sport that requires years of dedication, training, and discipline—but did you know it can also help fund your college education? Many gymnasts earn scholarships to continue their athletic careers while pursuing higher education.
Below, we’ll explore NCAA gymnastics scholarships, private funding opportunities, and how to increase your chances of securing financial aid.
Gymnasts have several scholarship pathways available:
1) NCAA Gymnastics Scholarships – Offered by Division I & II colleges with varsity gymnastics programs.
2) Private & Organization-Based Scholarships – Provided by businesses, foundations, and non-profits supporting gymnasts.
3) Academic & Athletic Combo Scholarships – Some schools offer financial aid for student-athletes excelling in both academics and sports.
4) Local & Regional Scholarships – Smaller grants available through community organizations and gymnastics clubs.
Compete at the College Level & Earn Financial Aid
The NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) provides the most competitive gymnastics scholarships for athletes in Division I and II schools. Here’s how they work:
Division I: Offers the most gymnastics scholarships and typically funds 12 full-ride scholarships per team.
Division II: Provides fewer scholarships, usually partial scholarships that athletes can combine with academic aid.
Division III: Does not offer athletic scholarships, but gymnasts can qualify for merit-based academic aid.
💡 Pro Tip: Start contacting college coaches early—most gymnastics scholarships are recruited well in advance.
