Number of scholarships allowed

I don't know what the NAIA does. The NCAA limits are for the entire roster. What a player receives may vary from year to year. Some programs don't expect players to stay for senior year. If the scholarship is removed senior year the odds are small a starting player will transfer. There is a very successful coach known for yanking scholarships after junior year if the player returns for senior year. Recruiting is based on the assumption draft able players won't return.

For the entire roster - 

NCAA -

D1 - 11.7

D2 - 9

But it is worth noting that not all schools are fully funded to offer the full 11.7 or 9, and that at D1 the minimum is 25% with a maximum of 27 players on athletic scholarship.

Given the allowable number of scholarships awarded, are these limits based on a year's recruiting class or on the entire roster?

 

For Example: NAIA limits 12 full scholarships for baseball.

 

 

It's 12 full if fully funded broken up into as many players as he can, for the entire roster

No program in any division offers 1 full ride. 

There's an art to recruiting.and figuring out the number

Not too many coaches can accomplish that.

OK thanks...I thought it was for the entire roster but wasnt sure

It doesn't have to be for anyone if he chooses. In DI only 27 players are allowed and minimum is 25%. All divisions have different rules. No one makes anyone give anything. 

I am not as familiar with NAIA.

In D2, if fully funded, there are 9 scholarships. There is no minimum amount required and there is no limit to either how many players can receive money or how many are on the roster. 

D3 gets no athletic money. D1 Ivy do not get athletic money either.
