Nine scholarships split across 28-30 players for mens soccer—do the math.
$495,000 / 30 = $16,500

In 2019-20 the average men’s D1 soccer scholarship was $15,008. The lowest team average was $5,809. The highest was $31,062.

They can go to school at home for free or practically free. If a program has 4-8 internationals as many do, there will be pennies left for anyone else even if it's fully funded.

Also, some internationals qualify for full financial aid, so don't need an athletic scholarship. So they have a "full ride" but it's need based.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThe D1 coaches I am friendly with say international players are much more realistic about scholarship money than American parents are. Internationals come for less scholarship money than people believe. Many come from families with money. Those that wash out of European soccer programs hope to come here and work their way into the MLS. College is their gateway to US professional soccer. The international full ride is a gross generalization.
