Frequently Asked Questions
Does NJCAA Division I offer full athletic scholarships?
NJCAA Division I programs may offer athletic scholarships that can include tuition, fees, room, board, and course-related books under current NJCAA rules. Each offer is program-specific. Confirm the written aid breakdown with the school before you commit.
How is NJCAA recruiting different from NCAA Division I recruiting?
NJCAA programs follow NJCAA eligibility and compliance rules, not the NCAA Division I recruiting calendar. There is no single NCAA-style dead period chart for all JUCO coaches. Use this page's official NJCAA links and ask the compliance office at each school what applies.
Can I transfer from NJCAA to NCAA Division I?
Many players transfer from NJCAA programs to NCAA schools. You must meet NCAA transfer and eligibility rules and register with the NCAA Eligibility Center. JUCO grades and credits are part of that review.
