NCAA Equivalency

LH...Can you explain what it means? Wasn't it an NCAA school you signed with?

On the NLI it states the percentage your scholarship is of the 11.7 allowed by NCAA. It is a true reading of your scholarship amount. Good thing to know.

Oh I get it. Definately a good thing to know. May be a good thing to ask before signing.

On the 2006-2007 National Letter of Intent that my son signed last November there was no such section. The intent letter only stated that there must be a written offer of athletics financial aid. There wasn't any mention of the percentage that my son's scholarship was in relation to the 11.7 allowed.

I went to the web site www.national-letter.org -but they do not allow you to download the NLI. You might be able to get one by request from their office. There is a copy of the 2003 NLI on www.prospectswatch.org. I didn't see any reference to the ncaa equivalency you mentioned.

Son signed with a D-1 school. I would think that all other D-1 schools would use the same forms. I could be mistaken though.

I just checked and it is on the athletics financial aid form. Maybe not all schools do it. I still think I would ask. Then you know exactly what you are getting.
