Does it field a women’s basketball team?
Yes. Murray State College reported 13 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 NJCAA (junior college), and no conference affiliation is recorded here. It is one of 7 NJCAA women's basketball programmes in Oklahoma, out of 31 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?
NJCAA Divisions I and II permit athletically-related student aid; Division III does not. The federal return records the association but not the division, so this page does not state which applies here.
Murray State College reported athletically-related student aid awarded to women in its most recent federal return. The amount is the total across every women’s sport at the institution — basketball, and also volleyball, soccer, track, swimming and the rest. It is not a basketball budget, and it is not what one player receives.
Read alone it is routinely mistaken for a per-player offer. Inside Athlavia it sits next to the squad size, the division's own limits and the published cost, which is the only way it means anything.
It is one of 30 institutions in Oklahoma whose return reports athletic aid awarded to women, out of 31 that field women’s basketball at all.
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 346 NJCAA women’s basketball programmes in this database, the average listed squad is 13 players. Murray State College lists 13, almost exactly the divisional average. Among the 7 NJCAA programmes in Oklahoma, it has the 5th 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.
