Division III (or DIII) is a division of the National Collegiate Athletic Association of the United States. The division consists of colleges and universities that choose not to offer athletically related financial aid (i.e. athletic scholarships) to their student-athletes. There are over 420 member institutions, making DIII the largest of the three divisions sanctioned by the National Collegiate Athletic Association. The level of play is good, though (generally) not as high of quality as NCAA Division I (fully scholarshipped) and NCAA Division II (some athletic scholarships).

DIII schools range in size from less than 500 to over 10,000 students. DIII schools are not allowed to offer athletic scholarships. Eight D-3 schools do currently offer scholarships in a capacity as grandfathered schools, which traditionally participated in the highest levels of single sports prior to the tiering of schools into divisions. These teams compete at the Division I level, while the remainder of their athletic program remains D-3. They are Clarkson University (men's and women's ice hockey), Colorado College (men's ice hockey and women's soccer), Hartwick College (men's soccer, women's water polo), Johns Hopkins University (men's and women's lacrosse), SUNY Oneonta (men's soccer), Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (men's and women's ice hockey), Rutgers University-Newark (men's volleyball), and St. Lawrence University (men's and women's ice hockey). Each school has the right to offer scholarships in one men's and one women's sport.
