Collegiate Rugby Programs
Scholarship Opportunities
The NCAA has recognized women's rugby as an emerging sport. There are currently eight colleges that offer varisty-scholarships to female athletes.
Though Rugby is generally played as a club sport at the collegiate-level, it is often well supported through alumni foundations and other organizations that desire to see their respective school be competitive on pitch.
