St. Bernard Parish's Nunez Community College invested $23,400 in athletically-related financial aid for college students in 2023, according to the U.S. Department of Education.

This is a 38.5% increase compared to the previous year, when the county invested $16,900 in college sports aid.

There were 34 male and zero female student-athletes who competed for one or more sports teams representing Nunez Community College in 2023.

Male students who play basketball generally receive the most in financial aid, followed closely by football players. Female students playing ice hockey often receive the most in financial aid.

Only a small percentage of college expenses are typically covered by athletic scholarships, and only for a select few students.

A study found that 71% of student athletes participated in sports to earn a college scholarship.
