For players looking at D2 or NAIA what is a typical scholarship package? I get there are less $ to go around in D2 and NAIA. And does anyone know if D2 schools offer in-state tuition rates for out of state players as part of the package like some D1 schools do?

Top 2-3 players on a top team will be offered full to approaching full deals from higher end programs. Its really a function of what you want to get out of it. Most that make it that far don't need the money, but if a full scholarship is what you need, its out there. You just may have to shop around programs on the lower end of the RPI rankings. My D Probably did better financially than most, but that wasnt the most important thing. I think she was always challenged and got to play the best with the best and became the best player she could be. We were happy with the journey and end result, many others were also, but I know many that werent. Its not for everyone.
Signed - also curious

The difficulty at D2 is the lack of funding. Not sure if it is still the case but the desirable local D2 schools like St A, Bentley and Stonehill were historical either non funded or under funded programs.

D2s just don't have the athletic funding and have to make a little go a long way. These schools are 60k a year so it helps but not a game changer

I know of a couple of d2 athletes currently playing sports at MA colleges. One plays football. The other plays soccer. The football player started as a freshman. The soccer player didn't start as a freshman but had decent playing time. Both were good students. Both got combinations of athletic and merit/ academic scholarships that covered between half and 3/4's the cost of tuition, room, and board. Neither family would have gotten much financial based aid. The kids probably would have gotten academic aid on their own but not the total package they got. Sports helped sweeten the deal but the families are still paying a good chunk of change- $20,000 plus per year.

The tough part is that the d2s are typically a big step down academically.
For example a kid that's a good student that might get great
Academic money and athletic money at Stonehill might also have an option to play D1 at a school like Holy Cross. Which degree is more valuable in the end?

Might want to rethink that proposition...

Neither is a path to soccer greatness but HC is a superior school by every metric.
The question was about funds available at D2 and I think some of these responses are helpful.
