Easiest sport with the most scholarships for women - is there such a thing?

Hey all, I'm kinda stressed. I'm a junior and I play a few sports. I'm wondering - is there a sport that is generally known to offer more scholarships for female athletes? I'm really hoping to secure some form of athletic scholarship to lessen the financial burden on my family.

Actually, women's rugby and women's rowing tend to offer more athletic scholarships compared to other sports. This is not because these sports are any easier, but because they are often classified as NCAA emerging sports and a lot of schools have teams looking for athletes to round out their rosters.

Rugby is a sport that you can consider as it's a growing sport for women at the college level. The rules may seem confusing at first glance, but if you're in a state that offers high school rugby, it's definitely worth exploring.

Rowing is another sport that often ends up offering scholarships to women who did not previously row. Women's rowing programs often have open spots and are always searching for tall, physically fit and diligent student-athletes, regardless of their rowing experience.

However, remember that pursuing a sport purely for a scholarship might limit your enjoyment and motivation over the years. It's critical to try out and select a sport that you are genuinely interested in, as the time commitment and physical toll for an intercollegiate sport can be quite demanding. It would also impact your college experience in various ways, such as time for academics, social activities, and work.

Lastly, you should certainly focus on your academics as well, because academic scholarships are far more prevalent than athletic scholarships. Engaging in extracurricular activities, maintaining a high GPA, and scoring well on standardized tests can all open opportunities for academic scholarships. Having both a strong academic and athletic profile will increase your chances of receiving financial help.
