That's a total of 1,087.9  scholarships available in the NCAA.

Don't just concentrate on the top division 1 colleges, many of these bigger schools usually have a large number of potential athletes that they are actively recruiting. The competition is cut throat, unless you are one of the best field hockey players you wont receive a scholarship offer. There is nothing wrong with smaller division 1or division 2 colleges.  Remember, its your education that's important.
