Top US colleges for soccer scholarships?

My goal is to play soccer in college, and I'm interested in schools that offer strong soccer scholarships. Does anyone know which US colleges are known for their soccer programs and scholarships?

When it comes to top-notch soccer programs that are also known for offering robust scholarships, several colleges in the United States come to mind. It's important to note that the schools make their scholarship decisions based on a variety of factors, including athletic ability, academic achievement, and other personal circumstances.

On the men's side, universities like the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-Chapel Hill), Indiana University, and Stanford University have had strong soccer programs historically.

For women, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is a powerhouse, Stanford University also runs an impressive program, and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) has been successful in recent years.

However, remember that in Division I and II schools, which these all are, scholarships can be divided among players rather than granted in full to any individual player. This is a common practice known as 'equivalency sport'. Coaches can divide the value of their scholarships among as many athletes as they wish.

Lastly, remember the academic qualifications of the universities mentioned above are also quite high. Thus, it will be crucial to balance your commitment to the game with your commitment to academics to increase your chances of admission. Good luck!
