You might want to brush up on your Scholarship knowledge. Do you know how many full athletic scholarships a D1 school can give out for girls lax ( I do), you might want to look that up. Then take into account that there are girls at that college that are already on scholarsip (which would decrease the amount of $ they could give out to incoming girls). Not saying that the girls aren't getting scholarships, just not as many getting as much as you might think.

That is exactly correct. Many schools split the scholarship $ between girls (ie 4 different girls get 1/4 scholarship each, 3 girls get 1/3 each, etc). Schools then get more quality players to go there as it makes the private school more affordable to more girls. Some will offer a "full" as an incentive to a senior in their last year...
and some schools give a lot of money to 3 or 4 studs per year.The coaches have different philosophies! There are opportunities for big scholorships and smaller ones. You only need to worry about what is right for your child.
Doubt it. Why would they? Three or four studs and with no $ for any more studs, then how are they securing other good players? I am not at all saying the funds are split evenly, they are not, but I am pretty sure no program is going to spend their lump of change on just a few girls.
Why would they? To get the best kids! It is simple! 3 kids @ 75% = 2.25 scholorships x 4 (incoming classes) = 9 scholorships. Then take the other 3 scholorships and give 15%- 25% per kid = approximately 15 more kids. That gives you 24 kids on Athletic scholorship alone and you still get 3 studs per year. The rest of the roster are walk ons or kids who gained admissions through the athletic department.
I actually made a mistake. You cover 12 kids with the 9 scholorships (basically your starters are all studs) and you get another 15 kids with lower level scholorships or walk ons.
