Any of the non-WI (and non-MN) start at about 50%. This covers the difference in cost between out-of-state and in-state cost of attendance.
The rest is given out based mostly on how highly touted a player was when recruited, but players can get an increase based on play (mostly the result of any early departures because scholarships are use it or lose it each year).
You can just about slot the rest based on where a player is drafted (or expected to be drafted) by the NHL.
First round picks get generally no more 90%, undrafted players will be near the 10% baseline for everyone.
If you want to understand part of why UW has struggled with WI born players, a 50% scholarship to UW will require about the same out of pocket cost from the family as 75% scholarship elsewhere. But a 75% offer makes it seem like the other school wants you more. From a financial perspective, a 20% at UW is better than a 65% elsewhere, but it feels that UW just doesn't value you as much. This is why Eaves got a reputation for "low balling" WI born recruits.
