Division III Degrees is a non-profit founded to increase the number of inner-city high school students attending and graduating from four-year Division III colleges by leveraging their passion for basketball as a pathway to higher education.

Division III Degrees works to increase the number of inner-city students playing and graduating from Division III programs in four key ways:

1) Educating local high school programs and students about the benefits of Division III, including the many financial aid options available to low-income families.

2) Working with Division III coaches in Minnesota and surrounding states to increase recruitment of local players.

3) Helping students achieve the academic goals needed to attend a D-III college and providing the support they need after enrollment to remain in school and receive their college degree.

4) Providing skills training and basketball education to local students to ensure they can succeed on the court at the college level.
