Madison County's Northeast Community College invested $554,678 in athletically-related financial aid for college students in 2023, according to the U.S. Department of Education.

This is a 1.7% increase compared to the previous year, when the county invested $545,489 in college sports aid.

There were 76 male and 65 female student-athletes who competed for one or more sports teams representing Northeast Community College in 2023. Male students received 0.4% more financial aid on average than female students.

Male students who play basketball generally receive the most in financial aid, followed closely by football players. Female students playing ice hockey often receive the most in financial aid.

A study found that 71% of student athletes participated in sports to earn a college scholarship.
