[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can I hijack this thread and ask if it is true that Ivy League schools don’t give scholarship money for soccer?

Will playing soccer give a kid a boost to get an academic scholarship, say at a school like UMD?

What are scholarships like to play for soccer for other D1 schools? [/quote]

Ivy League schools do not give scholarships for any sports.

A non-Ivy D1 school has an average of 29 men, and 29 women on their soccer teams.  They can offer 9.9 men's scholarships, and 14 women's scholarships, divided up between the athletes.  A Big10 school like UMD is probably going to offer all they can, so the average male will get about 1/3 of their tuition covered, and the average female a little less than 1/2.

But there is a lot of competition for those spots, both because so many American kids play soccer, and because there are many players from other countries who would like to come here for college.  [/quote]

Thank you for this. Would soccer give a kid more of a boost when competing for an academic scholarship?[/quote]
