The NCAA awards 126 postgraduate scholarships annually. The scholarships – one-time, non-renewable grants of $10,000 – are awarded to student-athletes who excel academically and athletically, who are in their final season of NCAA athletics eligibility or have completed athletic eligibility, are in their final year of undergraduate academic work or received an undergraduate degree, and who intend to continue academic work beyond the baccalaureate degree as a part-time or full-time graduate student. Each sports season (fall, winter, and spring), there are 21 scholarships available for men and 21 scholarships available for women.
