<p>Are there any grants/scholarships for a student to receive that has the academic qualifications to get in, has an Ivy coach or two talking to them about playing a sport there, and that does not qualify for any finanacial aid? Or should we plan to pay the full amount?</p>
<p>The Ivy League schools do not give out merit based or athletic scholarships. The only aid that they do give his based on an individual student’s need.</p>
<p>Thanks, that is what I assumed to be the case but was not certain.</p>
<p>Always remember that when in doubt, contact the individual institution- I don’t profess to be an expert in college admissions, although I went through the process with my son last year.</p>
<p>Since all the ivy students have high stats, they’d all “qualify” for merit. All their aid is need-based. </p>
<p>Ivies do not give athletic scholarships either.</p>
<p>Having or not having an “ivy coach” won’t make a bit of difference aid wise.</p>
