The NAIA does not limit the number of scholarships a programme can award. Again, NAIA is a fantastic option for players who may be looking to secure full-rides to a college. This might suit best for international students. Each colleges funding may be different in the NAIA conferences, therefore offers will depend on a case by case basis

Most athletes will end up moving to either a DI or DII programme if they prove their worth on the court and in the classroom.
