Statistics report varsity level programs only and do not reflect club or intramural teams. Skiing is an equivalency sport for NCAA scholarship purposes, so partial scholarships can be awarded in any proportion to meet the limit per school. For example, an NCAA I school can award 14 women skiers each a 1/2 scholarship and still meet the limit of 7 per team. See our page on scholarship limits for more information. Most NCAA programs are Alpine skiing teams, but several teams compete in Nordic skiing as well. The United States Collegiate Ski & Snowboard Association (USCSA) has over 170 member organizations, most of which are club level teams but membership includes some varsity level programs as well.
* Average athletic scholarship is the average award per athlete for ALL varsity sports sponsored by the school. Some athletes receive full awards, some receive partial and many receive none. Additionally some sports within a school may be fully funded, some partially and some sports provide no athletic scholarships. Private schools generally have higher tuition than public schools and the average award will reflect this.

Avr School FA award is the average amount of the award received by those students who received financial assistance directly from the school.
