Son #1 was at a mid-level D1. He got 0 (recruited walk on) /50/0/100 of SCHOOL COSTS (tuition, books and fees). He gave up 50% in junior year to get in a JC CF that helped team (this was the 1 year they had a chance to make NCAA tournament, but fell a game short, so it was a good investment), but we got the 100 IN WRITING.
That being said, he lived in a rental house w/ the 4 year starting SS who was on 50% each year, BUT HIS 50% was ALL COSTS..........so he was getting checks each month to cover rent / groceries. Their other roommate was this teams #1 pitching recruit as a Soph in HS. He started out at 40 of ALL COSTS, but by his senior year he was at 25% of tuition but he was very happy to be getting an education and being part of the team (one of the best teammates I've ever seen) He pitched a total of 14 innings in 4 years while oldest son is in top 10 in appearances at school.
It's not where you start, it's where you end and sometimes what you get is not what it seems...........and what one person gets maybe a lot to someone, and an allowance to the other. It all depends on the situation.
That being said. EVERYONE HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND SAFE HOLIDAY SEASON
