NATIONAL COLLEGIATE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION
The National Collegiate Athletic Association is a member-led organization dedicated to the well-being and lifelong success of college athletes. To be successful in college, students need to be prepared for college coursework. In Division I and Division II, the NCAA sets academic initial-eligibility standards that take into account GPA, standardized test scores, core courses taken in high school and the grades earned in those core courses. Division III schools hold student-athletes to the same overall standards for the institution in which they’re enrolling.
