NCAA
Any student-athlete who is interested in information on the NCAA Clearinghouse and/or wants to file with the NCAA Eligibility Center, should go online to
http://eligibilitycenter.org to get information or to apply. To be eligible to receive a scholarship from and/or be eligible for practice or participation in intercollegiate competition at the NCAA Division I or II institution, a student-athlete must graduate from high school and meet the NCAA academic requirements listed on the website.
Athletic participation at the Division III level is based only upon admission to the College or University. If you are accepted as a student by the Division III institution, you are eligible for practice and competition.
If you are interested in a Junior College or 2-Year College, you need to talk with them about that institution's specific requirements. Normally, the only requirement is that you have a valid high school diploma.
