As a member of the NCAA Division I Patriot League, Colgate University does not award athletic scholarships to its student-athletes. In accordance with league philosophy and regulations, the institution prioritizes an uncompromised academic model where financial aid is distributed strictly on the basis of demonstrated financial need or through standard academic merit awards rather than athletic performance. Every student-athlete who attends Colgate navigates the same admissions and financial aid framework as the rest of the undergraduate student body.
