Rowing Recruiting Scouting & Scholarship Information
College Rowing Scholarships are only available to women
Our sports scholarship scouting and recruiting service can help you when you apply for a college rowing scholarship. It doesn’t matter how good you are, to get recruited and be in line for a scholarship you need to tell the college coaches who you are and why you deserve to be recruited. COACHES AND SCOUTS CANNOT EVALUATE YOUR POTENTIAL IF THEY DON’T KNOW YOU’RE OUT THERE.
Not all athletic scholarships are full ride like basketball and football, so called “head count sports”; most are classed as “equivalency sports”, like college rowing. Put simply this means that coaches can “share” their allocation between a larger number of athletes.
This is good news for the athletes. In division 1 we see that a coach can divide his/her “20″ scholarships between a larger number of Rowers. Say 30 partial scholarships instead of 20 full ride scholarships. If you are good enough of course then a full ride is always a chance.
There are 84 division I and 15 division II colleges that offer rowing scholarships.
That’s a total of 1,980 college rowing scholarships available in the NCAA.
College rowing scouting is very competitive, college crew-rowing scouts are looking for rowers that are a good fit for their crew. Attending a college rowing camp is a great way to get noticed and increase your recruiting opportunities and your chances of being scouted by rowing recruiters.
The process of finding and contacting coaches and dealing with the rules and regulations enforced by the NCAA is quite a daunting process for both athletes and parents. The use of our sports scholarship recruiting and scouting service is a must for all athletes who are serious about rowing at the intercollegiate level.
The NCAA allows each division I and division II college rowing program 20 scholarships.
As a high school rower you should be aware that the standard of college rowing is very high. I would recommend that you attend a regatta or two to gauge the actual intensity of rowing at this level. Remember that only the absolute top rowers will be approached with offers.
Most rowers will have to market themselves. You can try to do this yourself or use our recruiting service.
IMPORTANT: You are not breaching any NCAA rules by using our rowing scouting and recruiting service.
