Attend an NAIA school

When you attend one of nearly 300 NAIA member colleges or universities, you are welcomed into a supportive environment of students, faculty and athletics
professionals dedicated to your success. NAIA schools strive to help student-athletes grow on all levels. The focus is on accomplishing academic objectives as much as it is on competing in collegiate sports.
NAIA offers student-athletes:
• Fewer recruiting restrictions with
greater opportunity for contact
between prospective students and
college recruiters
• Maximum opportunities to participate
in regular season contests and
national championships
• Flexibility to transfer without missing
a season of eligibility
• A focus on education and character
development
