Does it field a women’s basketball team?

Yes. Riverland Community College reported 9 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 10 NJCAA women's basketball programmes in Minnesota, out of 38 programmes there in total.

Can it award a basketball scholarship?

Athletic scholarships are permitted

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.

NJCAA rules allow athletic aid, but no figure has been recorded for this institution. That is an absence of evidence rather than evidence of absence: ask the coaching staff directly what is available for basketball.

What it costs and what it is like

No cost snapshot is held for Riverland 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 346 NJCAA women’s basketball programmes in this database, the average listed squad is 13 players. Riverland Community College lists 9, 4 players below that average. Among the 10 NJCAA programmes in Minnesota, it has the 8th 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.

Every stored fact carries the source it came from, the date it was read and how it was extracted. Figures shown on this page without a row above are recorded with the source on the record itself — the athletic aid figure, for instance, carries the Department of Education’s athletics site as its source.
