Athletic Recruits

What It Means To Be A DIII Athlete

At TLU, it's a privilege and an amazing opportunity to be part of one of our 19 intercollegiate teams. Success in the classroom is just as important to us as success on the field or on the court. Our goal for all student-athletes is to receive a top-rated education while also realizing their goal of playing collegiate sports.

Bulldog Athletics is home to national champions, All-Americans, conference titles, and much more. We are proud to say our athletic success is paired right along side our academic success and the overall TLU experience.

TLU Admissions Works With Coaches To Recruit Athletes

While coaches are often the first point of contact for prospective recruits, they work closely with the TLU Office Of Admissions to make sure you follow the enrollment process and fill out all documents necessary to apply for admission.

The Athlete Inquiry Form is how TLU admissions receives your information and assigns a representative to guide you along the application process. Completing the form is necessary for us to make sure we have everything we need to assist you.

Scholarships & Financial Aid

While we do not offer athletics scholarships as a DIII university, we do believe all students should be able to afford a small, private college experience.

We can proudly say that 100% of admitted students receive some type of merit-based, academic scholarship. We offer freshman academic scholarships based on high school core academic GPA. Freshman applicants could also qualify for an additional SAT/ACT award. Transfer academic scholarships are awarded based on cumulative GPA from all institutions attended.
