This is all title 9 and perceived interest in soccer. When MLS is selling out in all stadiums and USL becomes popular, perhaps more D1 schools will be willing to take on 20-30 more scholarships (1 additional female for each male).

Swooping back in here (Hi, y'all!) I recently read one of the best and most honest articles on athletic scholarships: www.chronicle.com/article/The-Myth-of-the-Sports/238453?fbclid=IwAR3XBj9rsF-67t9aZ_eCqFFiW0BKxFP96-0iyVSIRLkAUfSywUzzrkAP5UcFor soccer, the NCAA rules are pretty set and true - at my daughter's competitive D2 school, all women's soccer players on scholarship get the exact same amount of athletic money regardless - some other players get less or can walk on and 'earn' it the following year but for the rest, its a set amount. It's compensated by out of state students getting in state tuition, there are university scholarships for academics and even housing, so for her first year, with athletic and academic money, we were on the hook for roughly 15% of the total costs including books. And with the prices of colleges and what my friends with other kids - athletes or not - are paying even for UGA - I will take that in a heartbeat. Our goal was to have no debt when she graduates college (for her or us) and so far we haven't had to rely on loans so here's hoping! As for level - D1 and D2 are held to the NCAA guidelines of total number of scholarships available to men and women; D3 has no athletic but many more academic options and NAIA is not held to NCAA rules so it's open season there! But 'full ride' - for soccer - for men or women - is a very very rare thing. Keep their grades up and shop around for the best school for your kid not necessarily the best scholarship $ deal you get! This is their life not your ROI. Best of luck to all - we survived freshman year and looking forward to the next three. Well, she is, I'm probably still drying tears from the emotions of high school graduation - don't even want to think about college graduation yet!

The issue is football, not futbol. College football in D1 has 85 scholarships. Title IX says there has to be an equal number of scholarships for women. 85 is a huge number to make up, so things get cut. Soccer, lacrosse, wrestling, etc.
I'd bet if you looked up lacrosse you'd find similar numbers.

Oh, and D1 women's soccer has 14 scholarships per school. We know that the superstars get a full ride, so everyone else divides up the remaining money.. varying from half-ride all the way down to just books.

Here's one of my favorite resources for scholarship statistics www.scholarshipstats.com/soccer.htmlAthletic Scholarship Averages for NCAA I Soccer teams: Men's NCAA I Soccer Teams Average Low High Scholarships awarded per team 21 12 30 Average Scholarship per team $15,008 $ 5,809 $ 31,062 Women's NCAA I Soccer Teams Average Low High Scholarships awarded per team 25 17 33 Average Scholarship per team $ 17,766 $ 6,220 $ 31,363 These are the results of our survey of NCAA I schools that sponsored varsity soccer teams during their 2016 fiscal years. Number of scholarships awarded is per team, so for 4 year schools typically only 25% or so will be available for the incoming athletes.
