Div 1, you get I think it is 84 scholarships. Div 1AA you get I think 50 some scholarships D2 You get a few but not a whole lot and Div3 you get none. NAIA you give out some sort of aid determined by the team and university. I know a guy that played NAIA and starters got so much fin. aid non starters got less and so on.

Don't forget DII and NAIA can break up athletic scholarship money ie. partial - books and board only. NAIA can give up to 100% if you include grant and aide - work study etc. DIII has a lot of money advantages in that most are private schools with large endowments - we have 150 mil in the bank to dole out academically as we see fit (acording to school and administrative guidelines) Our school costs $30,000 a year but 75% of our team pays less out of pocket than any state school.

There is also a huge difference in the academic requirements in regards to what level you are playing.
D1, D1AA, and D2 all incoming Freshmen must meet the clearhouse sliding scale to be eligible to play in their first year.
D3 if you are accepted to the school you are eligible to play your first year.
NAIA I'm not sure.

NAIA eligibility is very easy. Student must meet any 2 out of their 3 criteria.
2.0 GPA Top 50% of graduating class 880 SAT or 18 ACT
Any 2 out of 3 and they are eligible.
Scholarships vary from school to school and in different conferences. Most schools try to maximize Federal $ (Pell Grant) and any state grants with Student Loans and work study before awarding football scholarship money.
Some D-III schools play a little fast and loose with the supposedly academic ONLY aide. You can look at the National Playoffs and probably figure out which ones.
