100% full athletic scholarships do exist in girls lacrosse. Not talking about colleges meeting financial need based or academic merit awards. Every school and coach will handle their money differently. Daughter saw many offers for athletic money ranging from 35% to 100%. (2 at 100%). Most offers were 50%. When my daughter arrived on campus, she learned many of the incoming class had 0% athletic money, and a mix there after. So not every coach will spread the money equally. They have about 3 full rides per class to give. They can bring in 9 recruits all at 33%, 3 at 100%, or however they want to break it up. If I were a coach, I would probably pile heavy money on top recruits.
Here’s a question. Is it like a negotiation like a car deal where you can go back or do they say “we are offering 50%?”
Yes, especially if you daughter is in high demand and deciding between several schools. Most schools will also raise the scholarship while there based on performance. Also interesting is that if your income is low you are sometimes better off with the need based aid plus 7% which is the most that can be combined. This is for non-ivies
