Ravenscroft does not provide athletic scholarships for student-athletes. We appreciate every student’s interest in Ravenscroft and have much to offer through our competitive athletic programs, which promote growth, development and citizen leadership in our student-athletes.

Ravenscroft does not actively recruit athletes to play sports. In accordance with North Carolina Independent Schools Athletic Association (NCISAA) rules: "Coaches, teachers, administrators, other school employees or persons known to be associated with the school's athletic booster club may not initiate contact with a student-athlete to encourage him or her to attend the school. Once a student has made initial contact with the School's Admissions Office, then coaches or other representatives of the school may approach the student about the school's programs."
