This is a 5.1% increase compared to the previous year, when the county invested $783,857 in college sports aid.

There were 67 male and 74 female student-athletes who competed for one or more sports teams representing Kaskaskia College in 2023. Male students received 20% less financial aid on average than female students.

A study found that 71% of student athletes participated in sports to earn a college scholarship.
