Brunswick County's Brunswick Community College invested $38,320 in athletically-related financial aid for college students in 2023, according to the U.S. Department of Education.

This is a 75.2% increase compared to the previous year, when the county invested $21,869 in college sports aid.

There were 45 male and 31 female student-athletes who competed for one or more sports teams representing Brunswick Community College in 2023. Male students received 36.4% less financial aid on average than female students.

Male students who play basketball generally receive the most in financial aid, followed closely by football players. Female students playing ice hockey often receive the most in financial aid.

Only a small percentage of college expenses are typically covered by athletic scholarships, and only for a select few students.

A study found that 71% of student athletes participated in sports to earn a college scholarship.
