Indiana Digital Learning School Students Now Eligible for NCAA Scholarships
Online classes offer flexibility and academic rigor for student-athletes
MODOC, Ind., February 08, 2024--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Student-athletes are a competitive group of individuals who thrive amidst the dual responsibilities of excelling in their athletic endeavors while maintaining academic excellence. Because they dream of playing sports in college, going pro, or even trying out for the Olympics, they are constantly training and competing in the sport of their choice. The flexibility of online schools often makes them a top option for these driven and laser-focused students. Because serving these passions and personal pathways are a top priority, Indiana Digital Learning School, or INDLS, is excited to announce that the NCAA has officially approved its core curriculum.
The NCAA supports sports across many seasons, and as an NCAA-accredited online public school, INDLS stands by its athletes and helps guide them toward academic and athletic success. Students strive to play at the collegiate level across an array of sports leagues - such as football, soccer, volleyball, gymnastics, swimming, baseball, lacrosse, tennis, and many more - that are included in the NCAA.
NCAA schools award nearly $3.5 billion in athletics scholarships every year and provide vast support to help student-athletes graduate at a rate higher than the general student population.
For a course to be NCAA-approved, it means the curriculum meets NCAA standards. The organization reviews factors like teacher qualifications, assessments, and content. INDLS offers a broad selection of NCAA courses across subject areas with the exception of some electives – which is common. As long as a student's core academic classes are approved, eligibility shouldn’t be a problem. For example, English, math (algebra I or higher), natural or physical science, social science, foreign language, comparative religion, or philosophy are all generally approved.
