Snow College Athletics

Snow College competes in the NJCAA, which is the athletic association for community colleges and offers a middle ground between high school and four-year university sports. With 280 athletes out of 3,552 total students, about 8% of the student body plays varsity sports across 11 different teams. The Badgers receive $912,938 in athletic scholarships, which helps many rural Utah students afford college while continuing their athletic careers. NJCAA schools typically serve as stepping stones for athletes who want to transfer to four-year universities and compete at higher levels. The athletic program fits Snow College's mission as a community college, giving local students a chance to develop their skills before potentially moving on to larger programs. Most students come from Utah (89%), so sports help build community connections in this small mountain town.
