Athletic scholarships at University of Arizona

$6.4Mathletic aid to men’s athletes at University of Arizona

That is 50% of all athletic aid at University of Arizona, shared by 268 men’s athletes: about $23,975 each on average. The school also spent $2.6M recruiting men’s athletes.

Roster rules changed in 2025. Since 1 July 2025, Division I schools that joined the House v. NCAA settlement cap men’s basketball rosters at 15 and may fund a scholarship for every rostered player (the old limit was 13 scholarships). University of Arizona reported 20 participants in 2024-2025, so expect fewer roster spots for incoming players than a few years ago. Current athletes may be grandfathered.
