My son got what amounted to 25% of tuition and room/board.....no books, etc. On his NLI, the number was listed as $XXXX, not 25% of anything. He gets half of the $XXXX each semester. He's on campus now, so it just comes off his total bill (tuiton, room/board all comes on one bill). Once he moves off campus next year his money will just come off his tuition cost since his rent will be paid to someone off campus. Between his baseball money and academic money, he'll basically be covering tuition and maybe a little for books. We'll just need to cover his rent/food/etc, which at his school is a heck of a lot less money off campus than it is while he's living in the dorms.
