Social Security #???

I think most of them ask for it. Some also ask for your son's clearinghouse PIN# as this number and his SS# are how they can access his progress in NCAA qualifying.

Today there are no secrets---they can find you if they want to

We've filled out questionnaires before and no one has ever asked for son's ss#, until now.

This particular one came from a community college in another state close by.

Glad to know they can find us TR,....cause they are going to have to " find " this player without him voluntarily forking over his ss#, at this early stage of the game.

Welcome to todays world of cyberspace

You are under no obligation to supply your child's SSN on a college recruiting form.

We've seen a handful of forms that requested SS #s.

We encountered them quite a bit on Q's, but left them blank. I don't think there's any reason to divulge it.

Of course, filling out ANY of a school's athletic questionaire is "voluntary." However, at some point during the application process, the student likely must provide his SS# in order to be considered for admission.

SSM, if you'll just give me your credit card number, I'll get back to you with that answer...

Thank you!

Now,...under the above circumstance, I could understand it.

But on a baseball recruiting form?
Or showcase form?

I don't think so.

THANKS EVERYONE!!!

My daughter's roommate is a nuclear engineering major. She applied for a summer internship with a government agency. This agency wanted my daughter to divulge her SSN so they could do a background check on her (my kid, not the applicant). Our reply was "NO". Roommate got the internship anyway. I would not supply it on a form like that.

I sent my contact letters to college coaches last month and the ones who sent back questionnaires all requested SS# with the exception of one. These ranged from major D1 to D3.

A lot of colleges use the SS# for ID in the application process. My son found it was important at one school. The school application and the financial aid application had different numbers (typo error). The coach was having a hard time getting the info together to make an offer. He could find the application by SS# but not any financial aid info. Eventually we discovered the error and had it corrected.
