The National Collegiate Athletic Association awards partial and full scholarships to student-athletes attending Division I and Division II schools. To receive a golf scholarship from the NCAA, a student must meet GPA and standardized test score requirements, and have the caliber of golf skills required to play for a college team. NCAA golf scholarships are awarded by individual schools, so students interested applying for NCAA scholarships should inquire at the athletic departments of the colleges they hope to attend.
