Does it field a women’s basketball team?

Yes. Portland Community 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 Northwest Athletic Conference, and no conference affiliation is recorded here. It is one of 9 NWAC women's basketball programmes in Oregon, out of 26 programmes there in total.

Can it award a basketball scholarship?

Athletic scholarships are permitted

The Northwest Athletic Conference permits its member colleges to award athletically-related aid.

Portland Community 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.

Athlavia holds the reported figure

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.

What it costs and what it is like

No cost snapshot is held for Portland Community 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 30 NWAC women’s basketball programmes in this database, the average listed squad is 12 players. Portland Community College lists 12, almost exactly the divisional average. Among the 9 NWAC programmes in Oregon, 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.
