Athletic Scholarships

Lackawanna College is transitioning to compete under the governance of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and will operate in accordance with all NCAA Division II guidelines and regulations. As part of this transition, our athletic programs will begin competing within NCAA-affiliated conferences upon completion of the reclassification process.

Under NCAA Division II regulations, institutions are permitted to offer athletic scholarships (athletically related financial aid) up to the NCAA established equivalency limits for each sport. Scholarship amounts may vary by program, and awards may include a combination of athletic aid and other forms of institutional or federal financial assistance, as permitted by NCAA rules.

Coaches are responsible for recruiting prospective student-athletes and recommending athletic scholarship awards based on their evaluation of each recruit’s athletic abilities, academic standing, and overall fit within the program. Once a student-athlete is selected to receive athletic aid, the Lackawanna College Athletic Department will issue the appropriate NCAA Athletic Aid Agreements or institutional aid agreement. After the document is completed and signed, a copy will be forwarded to the Financial Aid Office for inclusion in the student’s official financial aid package.
