About Valpo

Valparaiso University is in Valparaiso, Indiana. It reports about 2,123 undergraduates.

Tennis at Valpo

Valpo’s women’s team has three power-conference opponents on its 2026–27 schedule, head coach James Gleghorn’s first season: Big Ten teams Indiana (January 16, in Bloomington) and Wisconsin (February 14, in Madison), and Arkansas on a neutral court in Madison the same day. When the schedule was announced in August 2026, Valpo had not played a dual match against a power-conference opponent since March 9, 2011.

Since July 1, 2025, Division I rules no longer have sport-specific scholarship limits. Schools in the defendant conferences and schools that opt in work under roster limits instead, and may offer scholarships (full or partial) to any or all athletes on the roster.

Frequently asked questions

Is Valpo NCAA Division I?

Yes. Valparaiso University competes in NCAA Division I in the Missouri Valley Conference.

Does Valpo offer tennis scholarships?

NCAA Division I rules allow athletic scholarships for tennis. Whether Valpo offers you one, and how much, depends on the player and the university. Since July 1, 2025, Division I rules no longer have sport-specific scholarship limits. Schools in the defendant conferences and schools that opt in work under roster limits instead, and may offer scholarships (full or partial) to any or all athletes on the roster. (Source: NCAA.org – DI Board of Directors formally adopts changes to roster limits (June 23, 2025)) Division I schools that did not opt in are not bound by the settlement roster limits, and the NCAA Manual no longer sets their scholarship limits. However, if they give more aid than their sport's 2024-25 limit (men's tennis 4.5 equivalencies; women's tennis the value of 8 full scholarships), they become subject to the settlement, including roster limits. The old head-count rule no longer applies. (Source: Q&A: Implementation of the House Settlement (NCAA and defendant conferences; updated February 11, 2026))
