-- Fencing competitions enjoy a long tradition at many colleges and universities throughout the United States. In fact, during the 2017-2018 academic year, 46 schools sponsored varsity fencing teams, including NCAA 1, 2, and 3 schools. The oldest college sporting trophy was awarded in this sport and was known as the "Little Iron Man". It was presented to the top Men's Fencing Team at the Intercollegiate Fencing Association's Championships. Furthermore, it's one of the first sports women participated in on an intercollegiate basis and today most schools have a program of this type.
"Today, nearly all colleges offer either an NCAA program or a Competitive Club program. U.S. News and World Report's list of the top 20 universities shows fourteen of these schools have NCAA Fencing programs and the other six sponsor a competitive club program. Today, ScholarshipStats.com reports more women participate in the NCAA programs than men with the average scholarship coming in at over $9,000," Sage Mari, spokesperson for Fortunate Fencing, explains.
College applicants with fencing experience receive an advantage in the college admissions process. Schools now recruit men and women who participate in the sport to strengthen their NCAA team or Competitive Club. In fact, many students believe their fencing experience allows them to go to a great university as opposed to a good one. Their participation in the sport provides them with an edge in the highly competitive process.
"Fortune Fencing has worked with fencers who have grown up with the organization, graduated from high school and gone on to attend some of the country's finest colleges and universities. Some have continued with the sport in college and have been provided with scholarships to compete on the school's team," Mari continues.
