Reply to "Scholarship Question"

Typically, as an athlete, getting IN to the school IS your scholarship!!!

So if a family says "my kid is getting a full-ride to an Ivy", don't just discount it. I would venture to say it is probably closer to the truth than a family saying their kid has a full-ride to any other D1 school!

Of course they may not play at all because their season was cancelled...

Maybe it's just a thing here in Southern California, but many parents are reluctant to admit they qualified for financial aid and go to great lengths to convince others that the Ivy money was due to their son's athletic prowess.  I've heard many times over the years how a kid got an "athletic scholarship to Harvard (or Yale, etc)", and no amount of discussion would move these people off this position.
