I know that the maximum a Division I school can offer is 11.7 full ride eqivalencies. I think the number at Division II is 9.0. (I don't know the others.)
"Equivalencies" means the school takes the average cost of attendance and multiplies that times either 11.7 or 9.0 to get its allocable scholarship budget in dollars. Thus, in-state schools (where out-of-state students' higher costs raise the average cost of attendance above the in-state student's bill) have a higher ceiling than do private universities, in terms of the number of players they might be able to get substantial money to. State-supported schools in TX, FL and GA also benefit from things like Hope Scholarships, Bright Futures, etc.
Bear in mind that these figures are MAXIMUMS. Many, many schools do not budget the maximum amounts. Thankfully it's getting better and better as more and more money is committed to college baseball, and programs have gotten better at fund raising, in the past several years.

Schools also help mitigate their costs (especially private schools such as Rice, Baylor, etc) with generous finacial aid and academic scholarships.
do j.c. div. 3 give scholarships????
Jr. College Div III schools do not give athletic scholarships.
Actually, junior colleges do offer financial aid to athletes.

It depends on which division the junior college is in.
Division 1 junior colleges have 24 full scholarships (room and board, plus tuition, plus expenses like transportation and books) to give and Division 2 junior colleges can award 24 scholarships that cover the cost of tuition and books only. Division 3 junior colleges are not allowed to give any baseball scholarships at all.
D111 JCs do give financial aid but no BB money. I have several friends at a D111 in new Jersey and they all got money of some sort. I know a couple of them couldn't afford the cost of goind with out the aid.
D3 Jucos cannot earmark the financial aid for athletes. Those players must qualify and compete for the money with the entire student poulation. For a coach to use the promise of financial aid to an athlete would be a) a rule violation and b) unethical and grounds for NJCAA sanctions as well as dismissal from thier post.
You are right but then who knows what they were promised. Could have been on a need basis. The one guy I know was well off and he received money as well. I tak to his Dad all the time and he said his son wouldn't go without money just on principal. Another got ijured and lost his offer of money. I never asked but next time I see the father I will. His son is playing at a local college after 2 years at a D11 4 year program.
Keep in mind that JUCO DIII tuition is $1,000 vs. DI, DII tuition of $7,000. You got a scholarship by just attending a JUCO!
If I had all the money back that I have spent on equipment, lessons, team fees and travel, I could just write a check for 4 years of tuition at any college in the free world... lmao
But, Mav, the memories....
Maverick that is a great point.
We purposely kept the costs down and didn't go to showcases because we didn't see it as an investment. As it turned out we had a positive cash flow freshman year. This ties in with the other thread on Parental involvement. I did all the recruiting work, negotiated the offers and got my son a great education and 4 years of D1 BB. I am starting to feel pretty good. I didn't save a penny for his college. Our colleges only cost $5000 a year plus room and board. No need to save. Kid screwed me up by wanting to play down south at a D1.

I pass by Eastfield regularly and always notice
the signs on the ballfield fence noting their
championships.
A couple of former Rockwall HS players on the
team last season that had good experiences.

Nah... I wouldn't trade the memories and good times for anything. My son has been fortunate to have had excellent coaches along the way and he has made some great friends.
Everyone keep in mind the baseball scholorship is going to very minimal for most players. Where you need to look at is the academic aid they will get. If for some reason the player decides he is burnt out, the academic aid remains effective as long as he keeps his GPA up and keeps his nose clean. I asked Ringer1 son's coach about this before he signed. Don't get me wrong, the baseball money is extremely helpful, and appreciated, but you can get alot more money from academics.
Trust me on this. I am the same guy who was stressed out in May because my son hadn't found a place to play. After everything was said and done, most of our money came from academics. Simply because the baseball programs are not allocated the maximum amount of scholorship money they are permitted. JMO

Then it would seem that you are truly a lucky man.
Our oldest son played on the last champiobship team at Eastfield. It was a great experience. The coach is a great guy. The competition is as good as anywhere in the country as shown by the championships from that conference over the last several years. Besides Eastfield, Richland has won several and so has Tyler. We also agree with the comment about going to a JUCO is like getting a scholarship since the cost is very low. With all that being said, it ia worth a decent look at the Dallas JUCOs as a very good option for post high school baseball.

Dallas, D1 schools are really not an option.$
On a couple of web sites I have noticed that they have tryouts but you have to be enrolled in the school. Does anyone make the team this way. we would like to know that he is on the team before enrolling,keep in mind that he has passion for the game but WILL go to college if he does not play ball.
