NCAA Scholarships vary widely from full ride to partial.
Full scholarships cover tuition and fees, room, board and course-related books.
That right there is the golden ticket, but no doubt it's hard to come by.
One thing that should be pointed out regarding the relative "success" of getting females NCAA Scholarships whether it be through BCSPL or other local academies who like to tout it, is that there are 2 major factors that come in to play:
1) relative lower competition of female soccer players world wide (also part of the reason Canada ranks so high internationally)
2) Title IX combined with USA's love for College Football (the American kind)
Title IX basically says whatever scholarship money is available for male athletes has to be proportionally equal to the money available for female athletes.
Guess what sport is really really popular, is male-only, and has a massive roster? American Football!
So schools end up throwing money at female athletes across a spectrum of sports in order to be able to give more money to their football players. Ergo, more female soccer scholarships are available than men's soccer scholarships.
