10 NCAA Division III women's tennis programs in Iowa: rosters of 8 to 15, no athletic aid, $1,327 a player in spending
Every NCAA Division III women's tennis program in Iowa, in one list, not only the programs you have already heard of. The numbers beside each one come from the federal Equity in Athletics (EADA) survey and the College Scorecard: roster size, whether the school awards athletic aid, net price and admission rate. Each program links to its own page with the coaches, roster, spending and academics behind it.
For parents: this is the list to start from. Most athletes who could play in college are never seen because nobody knew the program existed. Seeing every option in a state, with real numbers beside each one, turns “where could my athlete play?” into a short list you can actually work.
Rosters vary widely: the middle half of these 10 programs carry anywhere from 8 to 15 players, against an NCAA Division III median of 10. A smaller squad puts a recruit closer to the lineup; a larger one means more competition for spots and a deeper bench. None of these schools reported athletically related aid, as Division III rules require; help with cost at this level is academic or need-based. Day-to-day operating spending on the team ran $1,327 per player at the median in 2025, 26% below the NCAA Division III median of $1,786.

How many players does an NCAA Division III women's tennis program in Iowa carry?

Which NCAA Division III women's tennis programs in Iowa give athletic aid?
None of the 10 schools reported athletically related aid for the team's gender. EADA reports aid by gender for the whole athletic department, not per team, so what a tennis award covers is a question for the coach.
