Johnston County's Johnston Community College invested $7,500 in athletically-related financial aid for college students in 2023, according to the U.S. Department of Education.

This is a 40.9% decrease compared to the previous year, when the county invested $12,700 in college sports aid.

There were 25 male and four female student-athletes who competed for one or more sports teams representing Johnston 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.
