Scholarship offers - what does/can it include?

Yes A college baseball scholarship can cover a portion of or all of a number of college expenses, including: tuition, housing, meals, books and fees. The offer can be for specific expenses, or it can be a lump sum cash offer per quarter/semester, or it can be any combination of the above. Athletic scholarships can also be combined with academic scholarships.

Keep in mind that many colleges do not meld athletic with academics scholarships-- make sure you ask regarding the procedures used at each school you are talking to-- it may well be one or the other but not both

Most schools do combine. We found the most stringent academic schools did not. Ask up front.
If your son has good grades and test scores, the combination of athletic/academic money can cover everything. But don't expect baseball to cover much. Not enough scholarships to go around. You can't stress enough to your son how important grades will be. Coaches love to get players who have academic scholarships and won't cost the team as much. Many of these academic scholarships are automatic based on your test scores (ie out of state tuition waivers). Go to the school's website and check out their admission/scholarship pages. The money is there for qualified kids.

It IS a really great site...there are a lot of people reading this site (who do not post) who benefit from the good questions you are asking.
