juco?

California = None

It depend on what state and what division the JUCO is. In Kansas they cannot give room and board in division 1, but in some states they can. It is different all over.

in North carolina.

I think they are allowed 24 scholarships in D-I JUCO. The NJCAA website has a table that summarizes this and many other issues across the different JUCO divisions and for the various sports. However, just because you are allowed a number of scholarships doesn't mean they are funded. For example, here in South Carolina, there are a few USC-affiliated JUCOs. Tuition is very inexpensive (about 5k a year) and with the lottery scholarship it is virtually free, so they probably don't feel as much of a need to grant baseball scholarships.

WOW! If that's true that they get 24 scholarships, it seems to me to be a little odd. Why do 4 year Division ones get only 11.7 and a JC Division one get that many???

I believe that they can only offer 50% or 100% as well. Here in Florida you can also get Room and Board and food as well as books. If your grades were good in HS you may qualify for "Bright Futures", funded by the Florida Lottery. Mine actually recieves that money back as cash to spend as he sees fit to cover gas, additional food etc.

AR-State Mom is correct, it depends on state and level. In general, D1 and D2 can offer scholarships, D3 cannot.

I went to JUCO at a D1 in FL. The Bright Futures program was a big part as well b/c it did allow for a combination of athletics and academics to cover 100% tuition and Room and Board.

24 seems like a very high number to me, but I dont know the exact answer off the top of my head. A lot of those scholarships get broken up into partial as well.

Alot of scholarships are not "full-ride", they are partial. Most college sports are classified as equivalency sports by the NCAA, meaning college baseball coaches can offer more scholarships at a smaller percentage. Most by-laws now require a minimum of 25%, at least that is what we give in Texas.

Here's a quick look at numbers:
NCAA DI 11.78 scholarships
NCAA DII 9 scholarships
NAIA 12 scholarships
NJCAA 24 scholarships

These can be 100% scholarships but most look to offer partial grants with the BB money to reach 100% funding.

Hope this helps!

Junior college levels vary so much because they allow them to make rules at certain junctures on the way down. The NJCAA allows for 24 scholarships. Some states use the whole amount and some don't. Many states break off into different ways of dispersing it. Alabama allows for 24 but they are only tuition scholarships. Nobody gets room and board. Florida is by the conference and by the school. I know at one school they have 12 full rides and 6 tuition scholarships. A school may offer as little or as many of those 24 as allowed by their conference. I don't know if there are too many juco's that make money from sports. Allowing 24 scholarships eliminates any tuition money they would bring in. that's why schools are so wide spread as opposed to DI's. Division I schools bring in ungodly amounts of money. much more structured. care and concern is put into their athletic programs. they mean so much to the schools. not the case at a juco.
