Does it field a women’s basketball team?
Yes. University of Puerto Rico-Mayaguez 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 NCAA Division II and in the Independent. It is one of 3 NCAA DII women's basketball programmes in Puerto Rico, out of 13 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?
NCAA Division II rules permit athletically-related student aid. Division II is an equivalency division, so the permitted aid can be divided across a squad and a partial award is ordinary rather than a disappointment.
University of Puerto Rico-Mayaguez 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 12 institutions in Puerto Rico whose return reports athletic aid awarded to women, out of 13 that field women’s basketball at all.
What it costs and what it is like
No cost snapshot is held for University of Puerto Rico-Mayaguez. 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 293 NCAA DII women’s basketball programmes in this database, the average listed squad is 17 players. University of Puerto Rico-Mayaguez lists 13, 4 players below that average. Among the 3 NCAA DII programmes in Puerto Rico, it has the 3rd 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.
