These are schools that offer varsity women’s lacrosse that I think might end up being able to meet your budget (assuming around $20k). I suspect that many also have Net Price Calculators that request academic info, which should give you a good idea at the minimum amount of merit aid that your daughter would be likely to get. For the D1 and D2 schools then there may be potential athletic money on top of it. So there may not be any guarantees in this pile, but I think several of these would have a good chance at meeting your number.

Realize that I know virtually nothing about lacrosse, so should it happen that one of these schools has one of the best lacrosse programs in the country, that would obviously decrease the likelihood of your daughter playing there. I suspect that all of these would be academic acceptances for your daughter.
