Modesto Junior College — women’s basketball scholarships

Does it field a women’s basketball team?

Yes. Modesto Junior College reported 12 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 California CC (CCCAA), and no conference affiliation is recorded here. It is one of 92 CCCAA women's basketball programmes in California, out of 161 programmes there in total.

Can it award a basketball scholarship?

Athletic scholarships are not permitted here

The California Community College Athletic Association forbids athletic scholarships outright. What makes these colleges affordable is low tuition and state fee waivers — not athletic aid, and a recruiter who implies otherwise is wrong.

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 CCCAA institution is describing something the rules do not allow.

What it costs and what it is like

No cost snapshot is held for Modesto Junior 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 92 CCCAA women’s basketball programmes in this database, the average listed squad is 13 players. Modesto Junior College lists 12, almost exactly the divisional average. Among the 92 CCCAA programmes in California, it has the 42nd 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.
