<p>Our student pursued a sport–it is a passion–and we never looked at the $ spent on the sport as working towards a college scholarship.</p>
<p>Our student is participating in college–
No $.
The Ivy League does not award $ to athletes…
They have the same academic stats as other admits, and do their sport for the love of it, just like a violinist plays for the love of it…
No $.</p>
<p>So frankly why not eliminate athletic money/scholarships and make it about the grades/merit and financial need?
Frankly many parents have mis information about colleges and scholarships and the coaches perpetuate the myths.</p>
