Overview
NCAA Division 1 women’s basketball programs offer full-ride scholarships to elite student-athletes to compete at the highest level of collegiate sports. These awards were established to support the small percentage (1.2%) of high school players who qualify for Division 1 competition, covering the total cost of college expenses. Historically, D1 women's basketball has been a headcount sport where every scholarship provided is a full ride, though the program is transitioning to an equivalency model starting in the 2025-2026 academic year.
