The NCAA stands for National Collegiate Athletic Association. They are the organization responsible for overseeing the college sports competitions at over 1,200 college athletic departments. The NCAA is “committed to the student-athlete and to govern competition in a fair, safe, inclusive and sportsmanlike manner.

The minimum requirements are different depending on what level you are going to be competing. The eligibility requirements do not mean you are guaranteed admission into college and often times you will need higher grades to get into college.

A 'full' scholarship covers the cost of tuition, room, board, books and sports related clothing & equipment.

Travel to and from America in addition to the cost of the social aspect of living in America will be funded by the student-athlete and not the university.
