D3 Softball Colleges

There are 369 NCAA Division III softball programs, competing across 42 conferences in 33 states — about 24% of the 1,552 college softball programs in CommitBound's directory. The largest NCAA division for softball. No athletic scholarships, but many D3 schools are strong academic institutions with generous merit and need-based aid — and coaches can contact recruits at any time.

NCAA Division III softball is most concentrated in Pennsylvania (57), New York (50) and Massachusetts (35) — together 38% of the level. If you are building a target list, start with the states you can realistically be seen in, then widen.
