[quote=CageSage][quote=Anonymous] A YJ parent, a good friend, showed me the breakdown for their daughter's financial package for the U of MI. The lacrosse portion was almost 10% of the aid; the balance was academic, financial assistance based on parent income and the balance was a loan. A good portion of the tuition was paid, but overall the athletic scholarship was 6-7% of the total.
Your are in the wrong place, how dare you post facts! This post is the norm. When you take into account the limited scholorships per year available divided by a class of 6-12 you get a lot of 10 percenters. parents say they got a scholorship but what they dont tell you is thats its $5,000 a year on a $50,000 school. Academics is the way to go EVERY TIME! What you want is a 90% academic, 10% lacrosse and then when the kid realizes that this is an insane amount of lacrosse work just for $5,000 and that they cant keep up academically at a good school with all the sports commitmenats you walk away from sports, keep you 90% and make up the 5% selling italian ices over the summer.
Selling Italian ices? These top flight D1 girls seem to be able to private train kids and groups of kids at $100/hr. Next thing you know they are running camps and clinics grabbing $10k in a weekend. Then starting up a club and really cashing in. Only problem is it will [lacrosse] off CR and she will have all the YJ parents bashing her at every opportunity. See that happen over and over, just hope your daughter doesn't have any lax plans after college that isn't connected to CR, or you can come on here and see her get ripped apart.
