A rowing scholarship to the USA is a unique opportunity to pursue an academic and playing career within some of the best academic and sporting environments in the World. This is a continually evolving sport, growing in size and strength with every season. Universities and colleges award rowing scholarships to very talented athletes so it is important to have the strength and skill required for this hard endurance sport. NCAA Division I requires colleges to enter two eight-oared shells and one four-oared shell in the team championship. The Championship is restricted to 12. Four other colleges are selected to enter a eight-oared shells tournament. The NCAA Division II Championship consists of a eight-oared shells and four-oared shell competition. The Division III Championship is a eight-oared competition only.
