Auburn University at Montgomery Athletics

Auburn Montgomery competes in NCAA Division II, which offers athletic scholarships but without the massive stadiums and media attention of Division I programs. The Warhawks field 11 varsity sports with 213 total athletes, meaning about 8% of the 2,693 students participate in varsity athletics. AUM awards $2.5 million in athletic scholarships annually across their teams. The school competes in the Gulf South Conference against regional rivals. Division II athletics at AUM provides a middle ground where student-athletes can pursue competitive sports while maintaining focus on academics. The Warhawks have built respectable programs since joining Division II, though they don't have the deep athletic traditions of larger state universities. Most games draw modest but loyal crowds from the Montgomery community.
