Merit aid for lacrosse playing daughter

Lots of good advice. I would add that one person’s experience positive or negative doesn’t mean a thing to the next person. Someone getting a great package 5 years ago or even this year isn’t applicable unless it’s your kid.

Things have changed a lot with Covid. Many of the very top players dropped out because they couldn’t practice or get seen at tournaments. Some have repeated a year or gone to 1 year post grad programs. Some just stopped playing.

The idea of paying someone to represent your daughter doesn’t seem valid. It’s going to be a lot of work, but I think if you follow some of the advice above you’ll be fine. She might find a spot, she might not but at least you’ve tried.
Also, your financials will matter. You might be eligible for some FA already which would bring down your costs. I’d call the FA offices of the schools she’s most interested in and have a chat about stacking/merit/grants etc. You don’t have to give your name.
