Rowing in College

Each year brings an opportunity for rowers and coxswains to attend colleges on partial or full scholarships. Rowers/coxswains may also gain admission to colleges they might not have attended had it not been for their rowing experience. Graduates of ERC have gone on to row at schools such as Yale, Brown, Harvard, Penn, the University of Washington, Cornell, Stanford, Princeton, Dartmouth, Gonzaga, Tulsa, Virginia, UO, OSU and other private and public schools. A commitment to the sport, with its full-year schedule, daily practices, and required teamwork frequently helps students develop time management and communication skills. Watching universities and colleges recruit our seniors and expand their opportunities is a shared source of pride among teammates, families, and alumni.

Below you’ll find a presentation on college recruiting and what the process looks like.
