Florida National University-Main Campus Athletics

The Conquistadors compete in NAIA athletics, which sits between Division I powerhouses and Division III recreational programs. Students get athletic scholarships totaling $3.4 million across 15 varsity sports. About 15% of the 2,354 students participate in athletics. The athletic program serves the university's mission of providing opportunities for Hispanic students in South Florida. Women make up 70% of the student body, reflecting broader enrollment trends. NAIA schools typically focus on regional competition rather than national television exposure. The relatively modest athletic investment aligns with Florida National's career-focused approach to education. Students can compete seriously while maintaining academic priorities in programs like business and healthcare.
