From the NCAA: 

The advantages of competing in college sports are both immediate and lifelong. Participating in college sports provides opportunities to learn, compete and succeed. Student-athletes receive top-notch academic support, quality medical care, and regular access to outstanding coaching, facilities, and equipment. Student-athletes as a group graduate at higher rates than their peers in the general student body and feel better prepared for life after college.

 

College-bound student-athletes preparing to enroll in Division I or Division II school need to register with the NCAA Eligibility Center to ensure they have met amateurism standards and are academically prepared for college coursework.

Some colleges/universities are members of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). These schools are typically smaller, but may also have the ability to offer financial aid in the sense of athletic scholarships. Students interested in NAIA schools can visit the PlayNAIA website
Additional opportunities for intercollegiate athletic participation are available at Junior Colleges across the nation. Visit the NJCAA for information on program and scholarship opportunities that schools within this association make available to perspective students.
