Collegiate Baseball Scholarships

2024-04-18 (1).png

All collegiate scholarships aren't created equal. There are two primary scholarship models: head-count and equivalency. The NCAA assigns each sport to a scholarship model.

Baseball is an equivalency sport, meaning it has partial scholarships instead of full-ride scholarships like head-count sports.

YouTube Videos

They advocate college baseball players' case for having full-ride scholarships like football and basketball players.

Former Alabama ace Jake Walters and walk-on Allen Dye describe their individual experiences with collegiate baseball scholarships.

They explain how the limited number of scholarships affected their families' financial well-being.
