Abstract

A December 2017 article in the LA Times contends that too many NCAA golf scholarships go uncla med and states that “according to the NCAA, it was estimated in 2009, that over 200 of the approximately 1800 female golf scholarships were not used”. Regardless of the field, data from 10 years ago is likely to be antiquated. The goal of this research note is to examine the current status of scholarships in women’s Division I and Division II college golf by collecting data at the 2018 Women’s Golf National Coaches Convention in Las Vegas Nevada. The survey, which was completed by 100 coaches, examined the current scholarship market for women’s golf, as well as sought to dive deeper into the subject to help explore why  the reasons scholarships might be going unclaimed.

Keywords: NCAA, Women’s Golf, Scholarship, Athletic Grant and Aid, Division I and Division II.
