I know more women with golf scholarships than men! Most seem to have played since they were little, and they're all from golf-heavy areas of the country (Florida and SoCal).
Here's a NY Times article on the divide between scholarship dreams and reality:
one thing to keep in mind if considering an athletic scholarship is to see which schools will be graduating seniors and have the need for new athletes, thus have scholarships available.

FSUZeta, that's so true. Who knows if your schools of choice are graduating anybody at all?
And Munchkin, thank you for that link! My husband and I (both teachers) are printing off several copies. We know so many families who've spent their lives in pursuit of the dream scholarship (their kids are on 3 traveling baseball teams at once or they go to multiple sports camps year-round) and then they don't get offered any money or they're offered scholarships to awful schools they wouldn't have considered had there not been sports money.
