Best Places for Lacrosse Scholarships?

I'm really passionate about playing lacrosse, and I'm wondering which colleges have the best scholarship opportunities for lacrosse players. Any insights into schools that heavily recruit talented lacrosse athletes?

Sure! While many colleges award scholarships for lacrosse, keep in mind that the level of competition varies widely across NCAA Divisions I, II, and III. Division I and II schools provide scholarships, whereas Division III schools cannot. Here are a few colleges that are known for their strong lacrosse programs and offer scholarships:

1. Johns Hopkins University: Long known for its exceptional lacrosse program, Johns Hopkins competes in Division I, the highest level of college lacrosse. They aggressively recruit top players and offer impressive scholarship opportunities.

2. University of Maryland: A perennial powerhouse in Division I, Maryland also invests significantly in lacrosse scholarships.

3. Le Moyne College: Le Moyne has been consistently successful in D2 men's and women's lacrosse, often vying for the national title. The school has recently transitioned to Division I.

4. University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill: This Division I program has an illustrious history, and offers a generous package of scholarship and aid for skilled athletes.

5. Tufts University: While Tufts is a Division III school (which does not offer athletic scholarships), they have an incredibly strong lacrosse program and often recruit top talent. Financial aid packages, albeit not directly tied to athletic abilities, can still be quite generous.

Stay in communication with college coaches, attend camps and showcases to gain exposure, and keep your grades up to be competitive for academic scholarships as well. Don't hesitate to ask any other questions you may have about the college recruiting process!
