[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am less interested in local scholarships and amounts than the averages for a given school. That sort of info is useful to gauge expectations and offers for prospective recruits. Scholarshipstats.com has a pretty comprehensive listing, but it is dated and the sources are somewhat dubious. The NCAA has this information, but it is not generally available.[/quote]
What do you mean by “averages,” PP? Whether the school gives out the full 9.9 for men and 14 for women vs a percentage of the allowable total? That info is surprisingly hard to come by, but many of us can give you some answers based on our kids’ or their friends’ recent recruiting experiences. Or are you wondering if Coach X at school Y prefers to give 28 girls 50% scholarships vs 4 girls 100% and the remaining various lesser amounts? I don’t think there is any way to find that out unless your kid is being recruited or you are close to families with kids on the team. [/quote]

People need to realize that there is significant academic grant $ being waved around out there. One of the schools that my DS has been in contact with has said they would provide athletic $ that would cover about 15%, but academic $ (based on GPA, test scores) that would cover 30 to 40%. He’s a pretty good student, but doesn’t have an exceptionally high GPA/SATs...so make sure your kid is hitting the books, because that may knock the price down far more than soccer.[/quote]
