Yes they can give scholarships.. the class before my freshman year of college soccer received $10,000 scholarships towards each year of participation. I believe the amount varies upon the schools
NAIA division I, GSAC (Golden State Athletic Conference)

No. They are division 3 therefore they award no scholarships. They can "Help" with receiving academic scholarships though.
UVA-Wise will play the 2013 season as a Division I NAIA college. It will be transferring athletic conferences to NCAA Division II as of the 2013-2014 season.
yes they do
There are currently four NCAA divisions for college football. Division I-FBS allows 85 total players to receive a scholarship. In practice, all 85 players receive a full scholarship that completely pays for the players' college education. Division I-FCS allows 63 full scholarships, but these may be divided among any number of players (or 63 scholarship equivalencies). Division II allows 36 full scholarship equivalencies. Division III does not allow athletic scholarships. The NAIA also sponsors football in a single division. The NAIA allows 24 scholarship equivalencies. The are several other small organizing bodies, and scholarships vary widely between these organizations (although none exceed 24 equivalencies).
Ohio has around 11 DI colleges, 1 DII college, and an NAIA DI college.
Kansas Wesleyan is NAIA Division II.
The NAIA is sports played the right way. In the NAIA its is truly about academics, student experience and athletic experience. In that order. If you look at the regional US News rankings, you will see the top positions dominated by NAIA members. But more importantly, the NAIA doesn't have the rules the NCAA does. For instance, a coach can work with athletes all year. Where as in the NCAA, they only have a certain number of practices. Thus a coach becomes a life influence. NAIA games, matches and meets are drastically different. The level of sportsmanship during high level, intense competition is wonderful. Truely, the NAIA athletes have tremendous respect for each other DURING and after the game. But mainly, it comes down to Character. Very few NCAA athletic programs recruit on character, rather DIII recruits for enrollment reasons, DII athletic staffs see it as a stepping stone and are driven to succeed at all cost, and DI is about money. NAIA is the way it should be. People coaching and playing because they love it.
Only in NAIA ( small colleges ).
Peru State won the NAIA National Division II Championship in 1990.
yes.
