As I understand it, Ivy League financial aid is needs-based. So, it depends on the student's family's ability to pay. Since a lot of top-level hockey players come from wealthy families, they may not get as much as other non-athletes from less-wealthy backgrounds.
For example, I would guess that Brady Tkachuk received a full-ride scholarship from BU for the one season he played there. If he had gone to Harvard, he wouldn't have likely received anything since he's the son a professional athlete who made over $80 million in his career.
Obviously, I have no idea how it actually works in practice. It could be corrupt as hell, but that's how it's supposed to work.
