Are you looking at "per capita" sort of thing here or overall total number of scholarships. Per player...basketball and volleyball give out twice as many as they have players on the court. Track carries maybe 30 or so athletes for their 20 scholarships. Is that 20 "full rides" for track and field? It used to be a lot less than that.

GOLF!

I would have to say track judging by the sheer size (#of players) of the teams. Of course, you then get into the discussion of whether these are full rides or partial scholarships.

Softball Scholarship Information taken from http://www.athleticscholarships.net/softballscholarships.htm:

The NCAA allows each division 1 softball program 12 scholarships and 7.2 in division 2.

As a high school softball player you should be aware that the standard of NAIA and NCAA softball is very high. We recommend that you attend a few games to gauge the actual intensity of play at this level. Remember that only the absolute top players will be approached with softball scholarship offers.

Most softball players will have to market themselves. You can try to do this yourself or use our softball scholarship recruiting service.

Statistics and Information.

It doesn't matter how good you are, to get recruited and be in line for a college softball scholarship you need to tell the college coaches who you are and why you deserve to be recruited. You have to make it happen, you have to contact the coaches and tell them what you have to offer their softball program and why you deserve financial aid . COACHES CANNOT EVALUATE YOUR POTENTIAL FOR IF THEY DON?T KNOW YOU?RE OUT THERE.

Not all athletic scholarships are full ride like football and basketball, so called "head count sports", most are classed as "equivalency sports'", like softball. Put simply this means that coaches can "share" their allocation between a larger number of players.

This is good news for the players. In division 1 a coach can divide "12" scholarships between a larger number of players. Say 25 partial instead of 12 full ride scholarships. If you are good enough of course then a full ride scholarship is always on the cards.

There are 262 division 1 and 253 division 2 colleges that offer softball scholarships.
That's a total of 4,965.6 softball grants available in the NCAA alone.
