Stillman College Athletics

Stillman College competes in NAIA athletics, which offers a middle ground between major college sports and recreational competition. The Tigers field 11 varsity teams with 136 total athletes, meaning about 18% of the student body participates in intercollegiate sports. The school distributes $381,900 in athletic scholarships across its programs. As a historically Black college, Stillman has deep roots in HBCU athletics culture, where sports serve as both competitive outlets and community pride points. The Tigers compete in the Southern States Athletic Conference alongside other small colleges in the Southeast. While not as prominent as larger Division I HBCU programs like Alabama State or Tuskegee, Stillman maintains a solid athletic tradition that connects students to the broader HBCU sports legacy in Alabama.
