Gymnastics Scholarships

Even though a full ride scholarship is every gymnast’s dream, they’re extremely limited in college gymnastics. There are 81 gymnastics programs in the country, and 62 of them are Division 1 schools. Each of these schools offer 12 head count scholarships (also known as full rides) each academic year. That means there are only 732 total full ride scholarships at this level. Division 2 also offers athletic scholarships, but they are equivalency scholarships, meaning coaches distribute aid among several athletes on their team, usually providing partial scholarships. Even though Division 3 doesn’t offer athletic scholarships, student-athletes at this level often receive financial packages made up of academic aid, grants, and need-based aid.
