| 0- full most get 1/3. |
D1 programs can have 14 scholarships to split up however they feel among the players, D2 gets 10.5 to split up. Some schools will allow stacking of academic and athletics some won’t it’s completely up to the school. Most schools have between 24-30 girls so do the math if split equally. Some higher level D1 programs have near 50 girls so a lot are going there and getting nothing or next to nothing. A lot of those girls on schools with big rosters will never see the field in an actual game. |
| And many schools like Ivies and D3s don’t have athletic scholarships although they might assist with financial aid for low income applicants. |
D1 programs have 12.6 scholarships to divvy up amongst their players. 10-30% may be more the norm, but as others have noted on larger teams many will not receive any money. Some schools will offer money on top of athletics for grades and/or test scores. Additionally, some schools will allocate Alston Award money to women’s lacrosse, which is cash of up to $5980 per year approved by the NCAA based on grades. It’s up to the individual school if they will fully fund the sport, partially fund it, or not fund it all. I think this award is more rare, especially for non-revenue sports. Lastly, scholarships are usually earned every year, so no guarantees from one year to the next. Just my opinion, if in the end you can get back in scholarships the amount you invested in club and other lacrosse activities you will be doing well. |
I'd be happy with our "investment" with minimal to no money but my daughter placed at a high academic school where no matter what your grades admission is a crapshoot. |
| my daughter received 1/2 total bill scholarship at a private school guaranteed for 4 years including inflation. Merit on top, need will play into the 1/2. |
So, I hear this all the time it seems "Ivies don't give athletic scholarships". This is true, but their "financial aid" is not just based on low income applicants correct? Or a family with HHI over 250K is not going to get much help if any regardless of the lax player's abilities? Can someone clarify? If you have the grades to go to an Ivy, who would you pay for cost & play a sport? Obviously sports is a burden on student athletics. |
| When a school like Maryland, has 12.6 scholarships, how does a In State vs Out of State come into play? Does it not matter? Or more in state players means more money to go around? |
Well if the coach recruits out of state players, the school still yields the equivalent to in state tuition. So from a recruiting perspective I am certain big in state schools take as many out of state players as makes sense for their recruiting class composition. |
Can you rephrase this? I am not following. |
This is so true - admission anywhere is so difficult these days. A leg up and getting your application walked through admissions is priceless. |
Look at the math. This year’s freshman enrollment of the seven ivies combined totaled just shy of 12,400 students. There are approximately 27K public and private high schools in the US, which means half of the class valedictorians in the US didn’t have a shot at attending one these schools. And this doesn’t account for the vast number of international students who apply as well. If an ivy is the goal, being an exceptional student isn’t enough. The applicant needs an X factor to stand out. Otherwise admission is statistically highly improbable. |

| The new director of yj seems to be completing turning around the program. Shift in atmosphere and recruiting. |
| She was a pride girl then she played mc elite for one year. She’s only played one year with YJ. |
