Twelve scholarships to ethnic minorities and 12 scholarships to women are available annually to college graduates who will be entering the first semester of their postgraduate studies. The applicant must be accepted into a sports-administration or related program. The NCAA established this program to assist student-athletes who have exhausted their eligibility for institutional financial aid. Applicants must have completed eligibility for athletics-related aid at a Division I member institution before applying and must be within 30 semester hours of their degree requirements. The program is administered by the NCAA Degree Completion Program Review Board.
Applications are available in the institution's department of athletics.
