Does it field a women’s basketball team?
Yes. Cheyney University of Pennsylvania reported 10 women’s basketball participants in the Equity in Athletics return it filed for 2025-26. That is the institution’s own count of the squad, not a roster page Athlavia has read, and it is the figure the United States Department of Education publishes.
It competes in Other association, and no conference affiliation is recorded here. It is one of 2 Other association women's basketball programmes in Pennsylvania, out of 113 programmes there in total.
The athletics department’s own site is where the current roster and coaching staff are published.
Can it award a basketball scholarship?
Athlavia has not established which association governs this programme, so it cannot say whether athletic aid is permitted here.
No athletic aid figure is recorded for this institution, and the association that would set the rules is not recorded either. Ask the coaching staff directly.
What it costs and what it is like
A published cost is held for 2023-24: tuition, mandatory fees, room and board, insurance and a travel estimate, with the international tuition rate separately where the institution publishes one.
A single yearly total tells a family almost nothing. What decides whether a place is reachable is which line is the big one, and whether the international rate differs — so Athlavia shows the lines, not a headline.

How it compares
Across the 84 Other association women’s basketball programmes in this database, the average listed squad is 14 players. Cheyney University of Pennsylvania lists 10, 4 players below that average. Among the 2 Other association programmes in Pennsylvania, it has the 2nd largest listed squad.
Squad size is a fact about the return, not a judgement about the programme. A large squad can mean depth or it can mean a long bench; a small one can mean minutes are available or that the roster is already settled. It is a question to ask a coach, not an answer.
