Can you go into more detail in regards to the "stipend"? I have heard of some very talented girls receive what is called a stipend included in their scholarship but I have no idea what that money is directed towards.
Stipends is something the NCAA came up with to allow schools to cover some of the additional living expenses for football players and it has trickled down to other sports via Title IX. It is my understanding that they money is allocated to the team and the coach can decide how the money is divided up between the players. Some coaches may give it all to their seniors. Some may use a sliding scale giving more to the upper class, some may divide it equally amongst all of the players.
