According to the NCAA.org:
“The average value of a full scholarship at an in-state, public school is $15,000 a year. For an out-of-state public school, the average value is $25,000 a year. Full scholarships at private schools average $35,000 a year. The real value of athletics scholarships is intangible. Without them, many student-athletes would be unable to pursue their athletics and academic dreams.”
It is worth noting that while schools in Canada are not able to offer the same high value of scholarship as NCAA schools do, that tuition in Canada is substantially less expensive overall.
