CLUB (NIRSA)
The Collegiate Club Volleyball teams that exist are not "sanctioned" by
NIRSA. The NIRSA recognizes the clubs and posts them on their website
and conducts the National Collegiate Club Championships, however they
have nothing to do with their administration, governance, or
eligibility guidelines.
Some clubs do offer scholarships and that is an issue with many other clubs. There are no guidelines or restrictions other than what may be imposed on the club by their respective university.
TITLE IX
Federal law (Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972),
requires athletic scholarships in an equitable fashion among the sexes.
This means that there is a considerable amount of financial aid available for women with athletic ability.

NCAA Guide for the College-Bound Student Athlete
There are several companies that will help market a student to college coaches. These services might distribute a directory of eligible students to coaches nationwide, and also offer services to help students create a sports portfolio and videotape. These services are not free, but charge a hefty fee.
The following is a list of recent books that focus on athletic scholarships.
Some are guides to the recruiting process, and some lists schools that provide
sports scholarships, and some do both.

The National Letter of Intent is administered by the Collegiate Commissioners Association (CCA), not the NCAA. There are restrictions on signing a National Letter of Intent that may affect your eligibility. These restrictions are contained in the letter of intent. Read it carefully. If you have questions about the National Letter of Intent signing dates or restrictions about signing, contact the conference office of the college you are interested in attending. Please note that some conferences don't subscribe to the National Letter of Intent program.
Remember, do not sign any institutional or conference letter of intent (or financial aid agreement) before the National Letter of Intent signing date.
If you have specific questions regarding the National Letter of Intent, please call the NLI office at 205/458-3000 or visit the NLI Web site.
