Does it field a women’s basketball team?
Yes. Virginia University of Lynchburg 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 NCCAA, and no conference affiliation is recorded here. It is one of 2 NCCAA women's basketball programmes in Virginia, out of 39 programmes there in total.
Can it award a basketball scholarship?
NCCAA member institutions may award athletically-related student aid.
Virginia University of Lynchburg 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 22 institutions in Virginia 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
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 34 NCCAA women’s basketball programmes in this database, the average listed squad is 12 players. Virginia University of Lynchburg lists 9, 3 players below that average. Among the 2 NCCAA programmes in Virginia, it has the 2nd 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.
