Athletic Grant-in-Aid

Athletic Grant-in-Aid (AGIA) is an athletic scholarship funded through private donations to the university's intercollegiate Athletics program. The CSUB Athletics Department provides scholarships in 16 Division I sports. Recipients are typically determined by the head coach of each sport.  The coach also determines the amount of the award, in consultation with the Director of Athletics and/or the Athletic Compliance Officer, based on the student's athletic ability, academic eligibility, their sport's NCAA headcount or equivalency limits, and available funds. Coaches may propose an increase to an existing athletic grant-in-aid award at any time during the academic year. They may also reduce or cancel an award in accordance with the 2015-16 NCAA Division I Manual bylaw 15.3.4 - Reduction or Cancellation During Period of Award.

Please be aware that NCAA rules may prohibit the receipt of financial aid or athletic aid in combination with other aid more than the cost of attendance or, in some instances, the cost of a full grant-in-aid. The Federal Pell Grant is currently exempt from these limits. Head coaches may place certain restrictions on the receipt of other countable aid as part of the athletic award.
