Sports like track and soccer don't usually award full scholarships, even at the big-time DI schools. Because you normally have about 25 guys on a soccer roster and 9.9 scholarships are allowed, they are split up. Some sports are "head count" sports, where each scholarship counts as "full" even if it is not. In gymnastics, for example, a school can award 12 scholarships, which means only 12 athletes can have any scholarship money. So, if the school only has enough money to fund 8 full scholarship, it can split it up, but only to 12 athletes. In soccer you can split your 9.9 up to all 25 kids if you want.
I think it depends on the school what the scholarship will cover. A "full ride" at one school might mean tuition, room and board, books, etc. At another school (my daughter's), books aren't included, but tuition and room and board are. You should check with the coach.
