Possibly not the correct thread but you all seem very knowledgeable. For D1, when an athlete receives an offer of say 20% or 30% athletic $, is that 20% off the entire cost or just tuition? For example, CollegeA is 50K a year in all (tuition, room, board, fees). For the sake of argument, tuition only is 25k. If you receive a 20% offer, is that 20% of 50K, or 20% of 25k (tuition only). Is it a standard thing or does it vary by school ? Any insight ?
Lacrosse is an "Equivalency" Sport. If The program is fully funded they will have 12 dollar equivalent scholarships. What that means is 12 x "the total cost to attend the university. Example: if the total coast to attend (tuition , room, board, books etc...) is $55,000 the coach would have 12 x $55,000 = $66,000 to divide up how they see fit.
So in reality the coach offers a dollar amount which can then be expressed as a percentage of the total cost to attend.
Athletic scholarships can not be combined with need based aid. They can however be combined with merit based "academic" aid/scholarship.
