UNIVERSITY Hockey FACTS

Playing NCAA Division 1 or Canadian university is a great dream but less than 1% of student athletes will earn a scholarship to play at that level. The OHA percentage for scholarships are much higher than the average, but it is clear that to play at a top ranked school a student must be one of the top players in a program. Some of the best scholarship packages come from CIS or Division III programs, so don't wait too long to market your skills. Students should work REALLY hard, because they'll want to make the most of every opportunity.

​

Technically, Division III programs do not offer athletic scholarships, but they do offer academic scholarships. These smaller private schools give merit grants and other scholarships for student accomplishments. Keeping all  options open when considering a school may result in more  financial aid.
