1. Wait, so Vandy, Stanford and Duke combine need-based financial aid with athletic scholarships?

2. So if Ivy "A" charges 80K and student "B" get 50K in need-based financial aid (based upon the Federal Government's standards e.g. FAFSA), they could additionally offer athletic money (merit). Now that "need" has been reduced by the amount of the athletic scholarship and the amount of FA will also be reduced by the amount of the athletic scholarship. It's still going to be 50K as established by the FAFSA. This is pretty typical of Ivy FA in it's current state--minus athletic scholarships of course.

My understanding is the answer to question #1 above is NO. You get one or the other.However if the need-based FA is 50K then that counts towards the athletic scholarship number. Am I wrong?

You're not wrong under today's rules.

But the rules are changing.
