First, one should determine if indeed there are “full rides” also known as “full scholarships” available in a particular sport at a particular college. D3 schools do not offer athletic scholarships. D1 schools may or may not, depending on sport. Villanova, for example, is a D1 school with athletic scholarships for basketball, but not for lacrosse.

Even a D1 school with a fully funded lacrosse program can only offer 12.6 full scholarship equivalents. Since they carry 40+ guys on the team, the dollars are quite spread around.
