Volleyball in America is divided into 5 different divisions. The level of play and the financial commitment of the university (money that the teams can spend) separate the different divisions. DIVISION ONE (I) is the top level with over 300 schools sponsoring volleyball teams. At this level most teams offer 12 full scholarships. DIVISION TWO (II) schools offer eight scholarships. These schools are generally smaller in size and the level of volleyball is a little lower than Division I. DIVISION THREE (III) schools do not offer any athletic scholarships, but 90% of all DIII athletes receive Financial Assistance by way of Academic Scholarships and Financial Aid. These schools are generally some of the top academic universities in America. NAIA is the league for smaller schools that focus on academics. They do offer scholarships but the financial assistance is different from school to school. NJCAA schools offer up to 12 scholarships. These schools (colleges) are for only two years and then players generally go on to play in one of the above divisions.
