Scholarship opportunities are going to vary with each sport.  With NAIA schools, there is a limited amount of Athletic Scholarship money, but for example for football, they can offer 24 scholarships.  These may be split up between players.  Also, for Junior Colleges it varies between schools on how many scholarships they can give out.  But the answer is yes, there are scholarship opportunities for NAIA schools and Junior Colleges.

My suggestion would be talk to the schools you are interested in attending and see how many they offer for the sport you are interested in playing.  This may help you make you decision on which school to attend.

As far as official visits go, this also depends on each program and how they spend their recruiting budget, but it is definitely a good question to ask a coach while in contact with them and before you go on a visit.

The first step towards putting yourself in a position to receive an athletic scholarship is registering for an evaluation with an objective third party.  Click here to get evaluated.
