<p>fpfan,</p>
<p>What sport does she play? I have some experience with D3 BB.</p>
<p>ST2, she's a softball player. I'd love your input.</p>
<p>OK, I'll throw out an odd case for an answer...</p>
<p>I work for a university and my daughter would be eligible for a 50% tuition discount at my institution should she be admitted and decide to attend. </p>
<p>However, my institution does not offer the sport she plays (even on a club level) for women.</p>
<p>In addition, my home state offers a fixed amount scholarship good for attendance at any in-state accredited university (none of which offer my daughter's sport either) based upon HS GPA and renewed based upon university GPA.</p>
<p>Are Division III schools allowed to match this type of FA offering for a student? Would that fall under the general "matching of other school offers" regardless of whether it is an athelete? Would it be allowed as a 50% discount or the fixed amount based upon 50% of the tuition of my home institutions tuition?</p>
<p>When you add in the fixed GPA based scholarship, her total tuition at my institutuion would be $0 based upont current fees. Would they be allowed to match that?</p>
<p>When that time comes (in a couple of years), we will have her apply to my home institutuion as a safety as who knows what kind of offers we may or may not get. </p>
<p>However, I'd like to know what leverage we may or may not have when comparing FA offers.</p>
<p>Any questions and/or constructive suggestions are appreciated.</p>
