Harford Community College Athletics

Harford Community College competes in the NJCAA, which represents the junior college level where students can earn athletic scholarships before transferring to four-year schools. The Fighting Owls field teams in 13 different sports with 206 total athletes, meaning about 5.7% of the 3,628 students participate in varsity athletics. The college awards $186,400 in athletic scholarships, giving many local athletes a chance to continue playing while earning an affordable degree. As a community college in Maryland, Harford serves as a stepping stone for athletes who want to develop their skills and academics before moving to larger programs. The rural-fringe setting in Bel Air creates a close-knit atmosphere where games draw solid local support from the surrounding Harford County community.
