[quote=Anonymous]You know it is pretty easy to figure out where your kid stands and what may be available athletic scholarship wise.

You can (and should) find out where your prospective school(s) stand with soccer scholarships before you talk to a coach.  You would look pretty silly demanding a full ride from a coach with only 4 scholarships to divvy up among 25 players.  Only about 25% of women’s soccer programs are fully funded for scholarships.  Do what digging you can do you know what is potentially possible.

Yes - if your kid is on the u20 national team, and if they are willing to look outside the top 20 soccer programs then a full ride might be possible.  Otherwise - nope.

Yes - you can stack non-athletic money.  In women’s soccer that is the usual deal.  If your kid can get academic money - say 25% of the tuition and R&B, the coach can offer 25% and now your kid is half-price their freshman year.   If your kid actually plays - maybe that 25% turns into 50% as a sophomore or junior.
