About the NESCAC Conference
Founded in 1971, The New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) is comprised of eleven highly selective
liberal arts colleges and universities which consistently rank among the nation's top-tier academic institutions.
The NESCAC colleges are committed, above all, to academic excellence; they believe athletics are supplementary to academics.
NESCAC colleges uphold this shared philosophy by conference policies that are more restrictive than those of other NCAA Division
III teams. For example, the policies limit the number of contests in a season, out-of-season practices, and post-season competition.
NESCAC colleges also believe that members of athletic teams should be representative of the entire student body. Accordingly,
they do not award athletic scholarships, and provide financial aid exclusively on the basis of need.
