North American University Athletics

North American University competes in the NJCAA, which governs community college athletics and allows athletic scholarships for students who may transfer to four-year programs. The Stallions offer 8 varsity sports with 195 total athletes, meaning about 34% of the 573-student body participates in athletics. The school distributed $416,822 in athletic scholarships across its programs. As a relatively new institution founded in 2007, NAU hasn't yet established deep sports traditions or major rivalries. The NJCAA division provides a competitive environment for student-athletes while maintaining academic focus. With such a high percentage of students involved in athletics, sports culture plays a significant role in campus life despite the school's small size and suburban Houston location.
