We offer athletic scholarships in 18 NCAA sports based on the following admissions requirements.

1. Admission Requirements. Southern Illinois University Carbondale is one of the premiere academic institutions in the mid-west and admission is competitive. SIUC admits students based on a combination of high school grades and standardized test scores as well as other factors such as involvement in extracurricular activities, unique life experiences, and community outreach.
2. NCAA Qualifier (PDF). Prospective student-athletes must meet academic requirements set forth by the NCAA clearinghouse to become a qualifier and thus eligible for financial aid, practice and competition. Please visit the NCAA Eligibility Center for more information on becoming a NCAA qualifier. Also, it is important to remember that qualifying with the NCAA clearinghouse is independent from gaining admission to Southern Illinois University Carbondale.
