My son had several offers from D1 schools in CA ranging from 25% to 80% of total college costs: A couple private schools with costs at $64K offered 80% and 60%, a couple state schools with costs at $33K, one offered 25% and the other 80%. So took the private school for 60% as it was his dream school. This was back in 2010 and I'm not aware that any of those schools gave any baseball player a 100% full ride, but it was possible to get 100% paid for. For example, if son had taken the 80% offered (plus a small stipend) by a state school, there would have been grants that would have made up the difference and I thought at the time they offered only 80% knowing we had grants available to make up the difference.
