25 to 50 ..most around 25-33

Varies by program: Factors: What's available in today's crazy Covid impacted market (transfers, 5 and 6 year players). Then what position he plays and how the team has him slotted (depth chart and projected impact). If he's a top tier attackman, big fast and great two way middie, generational goalie or projected 65% plus FOGO, expect to get a higher award assuming its available (see variable one). If he's a close defenseman or an SSDM, less. Some programs give out more early in the recruiting process so be aware the early bird sometimes gets the worm. Do your research in advance. Start by looking at the roster and assessing future needs. Then determine does he fit in the Program, size, speed, style of play. Then determine what's left in the scholarship pot (tough to do but sometimes coaches or players will tip their hands if they really want him). If you have a group of finalist programs, be honest and upfront with the other coaches as you go through the process. They will appreciate it.

Most scholarships are pretty crappy. Best to focus on using lacrosse to get admitted to the best possible school that will set him up for life after college.
