Tiffin University Athletics

Nearly half of Tiffin's 1,938 students participate in athletics, with 941 varsity athletes across 20 sports. The Dragons compete in NCAA Division II, which offers athletic scholarships but operates below the high-profile Division I level found at major universities. Tiffin distributes $5.5 million in athletic scholarships annually, making sports a significant pathway for financial aid. The university competes in the Great Midwest Athletic Conference alongside regional rivals. Division II represents the middle ground of college athletics, where students can pursue competitive sports while maintaining focus on academics. Tiffin's athletic participation rate of nearly 50% far exceeds most universities, reflecting the school's commitment to providing athletic opportunities. The Dragons have built a reputation as a athletics-focused institution where nearly every other student you meet plays a varsity sport.
