<p>I am being recruited to play football and I was wondering if anyone knew anything about Bucknell’s policies on athletic scholarships, and whether or not they even offer them. So far I haven’t been able to find anything.</p>
<p>the patriot league currently prohibits its members from offering athletic scholarships in football. (mind you, member schools are still allowed to offer need-based financial aid and its generally a bit more generous for football players.) that said, fordham unilaterally decided to begin offering football scholarships this year and the rest of the conference is scrambling to decide whether it wants to follow or kick fordham out of the league (it doesnt help the pro-football crowd that endowments and alumni giving is down right now!). regardless, there is a planned meeting in june where league presidents will likely vote to take initial action one way or the other.</p>
<p>that said, do i think bucknell will be offering football scholarships to recruits entering in the fall of 2011? probably not, but i definitely wouldnt be surprised either way.</p>
<p>Eric - who woule we contact about roommate matching, dorm selection, etc.?</p>
<p>thanks eric. hopefully that vote in june will work out the way i want it to.</p>
<p>Exeter7–I’m not eric but do have a D (an RA) at Bucknell. </p>
<p>You can contact the Office of Housing and Residential Life. You can find their # on the Bucknell website. However, if you have a specific question, maybe I, or anyone else, can answer you.</p>
<p>Thanks, morrismm. I may take you up on your offer. Have an incoming D from Baltimore who is a clutterbound nightowl.</p>
<p>Exeter–haha! Well then, make that known on her roommate questionnaire.</p>
