For basketball can be different from that of football, although there are some similarities in terms of how scholarships are offered at different levels of college play.

  1. NCAA Division I Men's Basketball - Division I Men's basketball programs can offer up to 13 full athletic scholarships per year. The value of a full scholarship can range from $20,000 to $70,000 or more per year, depending on the school.

  2. NCAA Division I Women's Basketball - Division I Women's basketball programs can offer up to 15 full athletic scholarships per year. The value of a full scholarship can range from $20,000 to $70,000 or more per year, depending on the school.

  3. NCAA Division II Men's and Women's Basketball - Division II basketball programs can offer up to 10 full athletic scholarships per year. The value of a full scholarship can range from $5,000 to $25,000 or more per year, depending on the school.

  4. NCAA Division III Men's and Women's Basketball - Like in football, Division III schools do not offer athletic scholarships, but they may offer need-based financial aid or academic scholarships to student-athletes.

It's important to note that these are general guidelines, and the amount of scholarship money offered can vary widely from school to school and from athlete to athlete. Additionally, many athletes receive partial scholarships or a combination of athletic and academic scholarships to cover their expenses.

 

Junior colleges (JUCOs) and the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) also offer athletic scholarships to basketball players, but the amount of scholarship money available can vary widely depending on the school and the player's talent level.

  1. Junior Colleges - JUCOs offer athletic scholarships to basketball players, but the amount of scholarship money available can vary widely depending on the school and the player's talent level. JUCOs may offer full scholarships or partial scholarships to cover tuition, fees, and other expenses. The scholarship value can range from a few thousand dollars to a full ride scholarship.

  2. National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) - NAIA schools also offer athletic scholarships to basketball players. NAIA schools can offer up to 8 full athletic scholarships per year. The value of a full scholarship can range from a few thousand dollars to a full ride scholarship.

It's important to note that JUCO and NAIA schools may have different academic and athletic requirements for their scholarships compared to NCAA schools. Additionally, some JUCO and NAIA programs may have limited resources compared to NCAA programs, which can affect the amount of scholarship money available to athletes.
