<p>Does anyone know where to find information on a how many scholarships a team offers at D1 schools for each sport? Is that information readily available? If it isn't readily available is this information that a coach typically can/will share with an athlete? My son is being offered a spot on a D1 swim team with no athletic scholarship. I am wondering how much is actually available at this school. I imagine the fastest swimmers , the ones who score at conference meets, are the ones getting what is available but I'd like to know how funded the team is.</p>
<p>Take a look at this thread, may answer some of your questions, but not all. Some coaches will give you the information on how many scholarships they are funded for, others will not. In swimming, depending on the competitiveness of the team, most of the scholarship money goes to the very top athletes. The rest are getting token scholarships, like $1000, or no money at all.</p>

<p>If you are uncomfortable speaking directly with the coach, call the schools NCAA Compliance Office; they can likely give you these figures.</p>
<p>[The</a> Official Web Site of the NCAA - NCAA.org - NCAA.org](<a href=“http://www.ncaa.org%5DThe”>http://www.ncaa.org) … will have the info about scholarships per sport (by division) … and also info about timelines of when recruiting can occur.</p>
<p>The NCAA site will tell you how many scholarships are allowed, not how many the school actually funds.</p>
<p>^ … that is correct</p>
<p>jbevangelista, the information you are asking about was provided to us by my daughter’s coach during her unofficial visit. I have heard from other parents of recruits that this information was also made available to them by the recruiting coaches. Sorry, don’t know any more than that.</p>
<p>We had some coaches offer the information on unofficials, some we had to ask. </p>
<p>Never found the information posted anywhere and, in our experience, parents can be a major source of misinformation. Many parents think that for every D1 school, every sport is fully funded. I have had discussions with some who fully believe all men’s swimming programs have 9.9 (or whatever the limit is). They simply do not believe some programs only have 4.5 or 3.7 scholarships to split over a roster of 23-35+.</p>
<p>Is there anyone available to discuss athletics regarding “video” as a method of introduction to coaches? Our son’s record as a top 200 (170) national rank was lost as a result of our being unable to finance tennis competition, however he has maintained training (with top national players) via a tennis academy scholarship. He is “invisible” by rank and we are wondering if he should try to advertise himself or just forget it.
Cinderfella you might say…haha but good health makes for great wealth…so no complaints here.<br>
Thanks in advance and good luck to all our college kids…America needs winners!</p>
<p>^You might want to make this a new thread for better response. Makes sense to me, but I don’t know the tennis world.</p>
<p>Hi Tennis … you guys certainly shouldn’t forget it but it will likely be tougher without the national ranking. I do not know squat about tennis recruiting but do know about a fair amount about basketball and lacrosse recruiting. In the other sports videos certainly are used to introduce players with a couple recommendations … the better the competition of the opponent the better … and longer continuous shots are better than a stream of cherry picked highlights. A couple other thoughts. First, are there local tournaments your son can play in that might not raise his overall ranking a ton but will give him results against ranked players he can reference? Second, I think his coaches at the academy and the other players at the academy can be a HUGE help in the process … the coaches should know the ins and outs of tennis recruiting and also what level of recruiting is realistic for him and the other player’s recruiting can provide clues of what schools might be in the hunt for him.</p>
<p>I sent you a personal message.</p>
