Does it field a women’s basketball team?
Yes. CUNY Medgar Evers College reported 19 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 NCAA Division III, and no conference affiliation is recorded here. It is one of 56 NCAA DIII women's basketball programmes in New York, out of 130 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?
NCAA Division III does not permit athletically-related student aid of any kind. A Division III programme can still be an excellent destination, but no basketball scholarship exists at one — the money there is academic and need-based aid.
Money is still available here: academic awards, need-based grants and institutional bursaries. What does not exist is an award made because of basketball. A recruiter offering one at a NCAA DIII institution is describing something the rules do not allow.
What it costs and what it is like
No cost snapshot is held for CUNY Medgar Evers College. Athlavia will not print an estimate in its place — tuition varies by residency, by course and by year, and a made-up number is worse than an empty one. The institution’s own admissions pages carry the published figures.

How it compares
Across the 399 NCAA DIII women’s basketball programmes in this database, the average listed squad is 16 players. CUNY Medgar Evers College lists 19, 3 players above that average. Among the 56 NCAA DIII programmes in New York, it has the 4th 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.
