Illinois Wesleyan Prospective Student-Athletes of 2018
As a member of the NCAA Division III, Illinois Wesleyan does not offer financial aid to students based on athletics. Consequently, student-athletes do not "sign" athletic grants-in-aid with Illinois Wesleyan.
The lists below comprise those students who have reserved a space in the Class of 2018 and who have indicated their intention to participate in a varsity sport. We will add to these lists as other students-athletes make us aware of their decision to attend Illinois Wesleyan.
