Lee College Athletics

Lee College competes in the NJCAA, which represents junior college athletics where students can earn athletic scholarships while developing skills for potential four-year transfers. Only 26 students participate in varsity sports out of 5,118 enrolled, meaning athletes represent just 0.5% of the student body. The Navigators field teams in just 2 sports with $251,834 available for athletic scholarships. Community college athletics typically focus on basketball and baseball or softball, providing opportunities for students to continue playing while pursuing career-focused degrees. The small athletic program reflects the school's primary mission as a workforce development institution serving Baytown's petrochemical industry. Most students prioritize technical training over sports, though the athletic scholarships can help offset the $2,166 in-state tuition for talented players.
