Plumas County's Feather River Community College District invested $13,000 in athletically-related financial aid for college students in 2023, according to the U.S. Department of Education.

This is unchanged compared to the previous year.

There were 162 male and 84 female student-athletes who competed for one or more sports teams representing Feather River Community College District in 2023. Male students received the same amount of financial aid on average as 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.

Only a small percentage of college expenses are typically covered by athletic scholarships, and only for a select few students.

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