    What kind of $$$ is really out there for women's D1

    Can anyone provide info on what constitutes a good offer from schools at various levels? For example, is 25% the norm for top 40 D1 schools, %50? What kind of numbers might you get from the bottom half of the top 100? I realize there are many variables, so if you could provide numbers based on whatever variable you think is pertinent. For example, I'd assume it is hard to find really good keepers, therefore, should 2018 keepers expect to get a full ride from a top 10, top 20, etc?

    Expect hardly anything and be pleasantly surprised if you end up getting more.

      Does that mean most D1 players don't see any money?

        All D1 players see some money. Only a few in a few specific places see a lot of money.

          All ECNL players see most of the money. Once coaches have picked from ECNL the rest get what's left

              I remember reading an article about NCAA freshmen retention rates . Woman's soccer ran at 38% which was actually pretty good compared to a lot of other sports . Still means it's odds on your daughter won't make it past the first year so better make sure you can afford her school of choice if the money dries up .

                Most D-1 scholarships are about 25% to 50%. Most only cover tuition and not room and board. Some slightly better if you committed early.

                  the odds of playing four meaningful years are not good. by junior year many are out - either by choice because of burnout or wanting to focus more on school, they get cut for the new freshmen, injured, etc. as you point out you better make sure that if that athletic money disappears you can afford the school without. that's why getting good grades is so important - that gets you merit $ that stick all four years as long as you keep a certain gpa. even more important is you better love the school in case soccer doesn't work out.

                    ECNL marketing machine hard at work again today. Can't help but wonder if they're worried about GDA announcement coming soon?

                      D1 women's programs are allow 14 total scholarships if fully funded. that might equate to:
                      4x 100% full rides
                      4x .75
                      12x .5
                      4x .25
                      This is just an educated guess, every school will have a different distribution depending on player retention.

                        That is total at any given time. So divide that by four for available money to each incoming class and you have less than 4 full scholarships per year. Or one x full, four x 3/4, 3 x 1/2, 1 x 1/4 using your math. But that would be 9 players per year, or a roster of 36?

                          Other poster is correct it is at any given time. Also, plenty will offer a token amount (10%) then see if the school will tack on merit dollars for strong "students". That frees up more athletic dollars for the "players" he really wants. Some players get zippo.

                            *** Oops, should be one x 3/4.

                              Coaches look at merit money first and then determine how much they have to contribute to get a certain player. A top player that has great grades and test scores could potentially have enough merit where only a token amount of athletic money would be needed.

                              Schools can get the players they want/need regardless.

                              But at best I think most people would be lucky to get 25%. Many larger D1 programs carry 35 or more players. That spreads the scholarship money pretty darn thin any way you cut it.
