scholarships athletic/academic

You are correct in that in some states, it does not apply to the NCAA D1 Athletic Scholarships.

And that's means 'recruiting' advantages.

Easy way to look at it, using simple numbers:

Baseball has 11.7 scholarships (D-1). Say your son goes to a school that costs $10,000 a year and he gets a half baseball scholarship of $5,000. That amount is taken from the baseball program's total of $117,000 total scholarship budget, leaving the program with $112,000 remaining for other players. Then say your son gets $5,000 in academic scholarship money. These dollars have nothing to do with baseball, but the player is still going to school for free.

Thank you for the simple and to the point example.

You are very welcome!

There is a minimum qualification for academic money that either does or does not count against the 11.7 ie.1300SAT old test and top 10% of the graduating class. Financial aid and academic money under the target # do count against the 11.7 for the freshman year only. Soph year and beyond these 2, financial aid and academic money do not count.

Coach Merc ..

In order to be exempt does it has to be 1300 and top 10% of the HS graduating class or can it be 1300 and/or 10% of graduating class? Also, am I correct that it would be 1950 new SAT exam?

Thanks in advance

For this year only, we have been told that the new SAT writing component is not being considered. Only the Math and Verbal will be needed for admission and scholarship applicants. We were told this at several schools, but it may be different at individual institutions. Call and check.

I am not positive but asked one coach. He stated that it does vary according to school but the student athlete has to qualify for a Presidential/Dean Award. To do this the player must have a minimum 3.5GPA, 1200SAT, and/or top 10% of the graduating class. He said you need at least 2 of 3. I do know for a fact that financial aid is included for the first year and that both drop off after year one.

This article helped me a lot.

It does say that only one is required. But, I have learned that it varies from school to school - and I'm still not clear if this is only about scholarship money from the school or also about scholarship money from an outside source (not based on baseball) such as the Optimist's Club.

Does anyone know the criteria for scholarship blending at a D2?

It all depends on the school

Some do and some don't blend
