Holy Cross College Athletics

Holy Cross College competes in the NJCAA, which represents junior college athletics with scholarships available but smaller crowds than major university sports. The Saints field 8 varsity teams with 116 total athletes, meaning roughly 22% of the 533 students participate in varsity athletics. The school distributed $920,728 in athletic scholarships, providing meaningful financial aid for student-athletes. Men make up 62% of the student body, which aligns with the athletic focus at many smaller Catholic colleges. As a bridge program to Notre Dame, Holy Cross athletics serve as both a competitive outlet and potential pathway for students planning to transfer. The Saints compete primarily against other two-year and transitional programs in the Midwest region.
