College tennis programs · Rhode Island
12 college tennis programs in Rhode Island: rosters of 11 to 13, 4 with athletic aid, $4,648 a player in spending
Every college tennis program in Rhode Island, in one list: NCAA Division I, II and III, NAIA and junior college, 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.

Frequently asked
How many college tennis programs are there in Rhode Island?
12, across NCAA D1, NCAA D3, as of the most recent EADA survey. Level Field Combine tracks every NCAA, NAIA and NJCAA tennis program with a public page.
How many players does a college tennis program in Rhode Island carry?
12 at the midpoint; half the programs carry between 11 and 13. Roster size shapes playing time: fewer players means a recruit is closer to the lineup, more means deeper competition for spots.
Which college tennis programs in Rhode Island give athletic aid?
4 of the 12 are at schools that reported athletically related aid for the team's gender; 8 reported none. Among those that do, aid works out to about $20,990 per athlete at the median. 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.
How much do college tennis programs in Rhode Island spend per player?
$4,648 per player at the median in 2025, counting day-to-day operating costs such as travel, uniforms, equipment and game-day expenses (not coaching salaries or aid). Against each program's own division median, 1 spent above it and 7 below. The middle half of programs ran from $1,618 to $8,517.
