Saint Ambrose University Athletics

Saint Ambrose competes at the NAIA level, which means you get real college athletics with scholarships and some regional attention, but not the massive crowds and TV coverage of Division I. The Fighting Bees field 28 varsity sports with 1,014 total athletes, meaning nearly half the campus (48%) plays a varsity sport. That's an extremely high percentage that creates a very athletic campus culture. The school awards $4,443,547 in athletic scholarships, which works out to about $4,400 per athlete on average. Saint Ambrose competes in the Heart of America Athletic Conference and has built particularly strong programs in football and basketball. With over 1,000 athletes on a 2,101-student campus, you'll find teammates and competitors everywhere, from your dorm to your chemistry lab.
