Ok I use to play volleyball in high school and was on the club national team. I received letter from several school asking me to come to there school to meet the team and the coach. I never acted on any of these so I was wondering what kind of scholarship do they give male volleyball players? It can’t be much. The main schools I received letters from where Steven’s Institute of Technology, Vassar, and University of Arizona.
I just attended a coaching clinic this past weekend with Carl McGowin, former BYU men’s volleyball coach. He mentioned that his school only offered 5.5 full scholorships for his entire team (sounded like he caried about 18 most years). So I am guessing that most men’s teams do not offer anyone any full scholorships (but it is up to the coach to decide how to spread out those 5.5).

You’re right. The colleges you mentioned cannot compete with the NCAA schools like UCLA, Long Beach, Pepperdine, BYU, etc. U of A can comp your books and maybe a little tuition but then you’d be playing club volleyball instead of NCAA.

None of those schools are division one and are more limited on scholarship money… schools that are division one have more funds to offer… if you are good enough try looking into those. I will tell you though I am a huge volleyball fan and attend a lot of division one matches and that even some division one players are not receiving any scholarship funds.. good luck to you.

Besides Basketball and Football most schools only offer partial scholarships for all the other sports and then those partial scholarships are only reserved for the best players on the team.
