Genesee County's Genesee Community College invested $30,640 in athletically-related financial aid for college students in 2023, according to the U.S. Department of Education.

This is a 0.6% decrease compared to the previous year, when the county invested $30,830 in college sports aid.

There were 103 male and 66 female student-athletes who competed for one or more sports teams representing Genesee Community College in 2023. Male students received 482.6% more financial aid on average than female students.

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