<p>^ Probably only a fraction.</p>
<p>In 2008-09 about 10,000 international students were registered for NCAA Div I sports (vs 166,000 domestic students), almost all of them in non-revenue sports. For example, more than 2,000 international athletes are running track, but supposedly less than 15% of all Div 1 track athletes receive any amount of athletic scholarship at all (let alone enough that it could be their primary source of support). </p>
<p>That leads me to believe that only a fraction of the 22,000 international students who are funded primarily by their university are on athletic scholarships, but certainly a large enough fraction that it shouldn’t get neglected.</p>

<p>If anyone digs up concrete numbers on the funding of international athletes, I would be curious too!</p>
