While cheerleading is not yet a sponsored sport by the NCAA, NAIA or NJCAA, there are many scholarship opportunities available for male cheerleaders. Scholarship opportunities are decided and allocated by the school, and can be given in the form of tuition scholarships, book/housing scholarships or stipends. Male cheerleaders are critical to a cheer squad and harder to come by, therefore there is certainly a wealth of financial assistance available for the aspiring collegiate male cheerleader.
