I'm looking into baseball scholarships at NAIA colleges in Kentucky. Does anyone know which schools offer them and how competitive they might be? I'm a junior trying to figure out my options for college and baseball.
Several colleges in Kentucky that compete at the NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) level do offer baseball scholarships. Here's an overview of a few:
1. Asbury University - Located in Wilmore, Asbury's baseball team competes in the River States Conference and offers athletic scholarships.
2. Union College - The Union Bulldogs compete in the Appalachian Athletic Conference and offer baseball scholarships.
3. Georgetown College - The Tigers baseball team, part of the Mid-South Conference, is known for offering scholarships to talented athletes.
4. Thomas More University - Although it's located in Crestview Hills, Kentucky, TMU competes in the American Collegiate Athletic Association and offers baseball scholarships as well.
Keep in mind that the competitiveness for these scholarships can vary widely depending on the depth and quality of the current team's roster, as well as the number of recruits each school targets each year. It's always a good idea to reach out directly to the school's admissions department or the coach of the baseball team to get more specific information on the scholarship opportunities they offer.
Remember that recruiting is a two-way process; while colleges are looking for talented players to enhance their teams, it's equally important that you find a school and a program that's a good fit for you acadically, athletically, and personally. Best of luck with your search and your junior year!
