Remember a fully funded program has only 12 scholarships to split up, many teams like Stanford are not fully funded and have even less scholarship money to spread around. Go to the the best academic school your daughter can get into, not the best lax program, ie choose Vassar, Stanford, Colgate over Penn State, UNC, Florida, or Maryland. The small elite universities have a far superior network base and the graduates have a much higher salary average.




Finally someone makes sense
