Does it field a women’s basketball team?
Yes. Tacoma Community College reported 10 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 21 NWAC women's basketball programmes in Washington, out of 39 programmes there in total.
Can it award a basketball scholarship?
The Northwest Athletic Conference permits its member colleges to award athletically-related aid.
Tacoma 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.
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 35 institutions in Washington whose return reports athletic aid awarded to women, out of 39 that field women’s basketball at all.
What it costs and what it is like
No cost snapshot is held for Tacoma 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. Tacoma Community College lists 10, 2 players below that average. Among the 21 NWAC programmes in Washington, it has the 16th 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.
