List Of Division III Schools

Division III football or D3 Football programs differ from Division I and II programs in several different ways:

1. D-III football programs are funded like any other department in the college.

2.  No football player in division 3 schools receives a college athletic scholarship, in fact the NCAA prohibits division 3 athletic scholarships, however athletes may receive other types of financial aid, which are sometimes as lucrative as an athletic scholarship.

3.  D-3 programs focus on the importance football plays on the athlete rather than the impact div 3 football programs have on the fans.

4.  Regional conference competition is emphasized in college Division III football.

5.  Diii schools pride themselves on focusing on academics more so than athletics.  div 3 football
