<p>and that I can get money for being an athlete for probably years 2 through 5,</p>
<p>??? What is the evidence that you would get athletic money from GV? How often do “walk ons” get money and how much do they typically get at GV???</p>
<p>Anyway…XC/Track scholarships are “equivalency” scholarship. Even if you finally got one, it may only be for a small amount since the school will divide each scholarship amongst a few athletes. XC/Track aren’t “full head”. </p>
<p>And…you can’t just "skip over’ the realities of the first year. How would you pay for that? </p>
<p>And, I think it’s too risky to count on getting some scholarship money later for XC. Many walk-ons never get ANY money. And, you might get some, but not enough.</p>
<p>**The NCAA allows each division I track and field / cross country program 12.6 scholarships for men and 18 for women. </p>
<p>In division II the ratio is 12.6 scholarships for men and 12.6 for women. </p>
<p>Remember these numbers are for BOTH XC and Track teams combined. ** </p>
<p>I hope that someone who knows a lot about athletic scholarships and “walk ons” will post to further explain and clarify. </p>
<p>For example, it was a nightmare when they had to pay $400 for my brother to join marching band.</p>
<p>If that is TRUE, then they really can’t be expected to much of anything for college…not even $2k.</p>
<p>You wouldn’t need as much money from Bowling Green because the overall cost is lower since you’re instate. </p>

<p>In-state tuition and fees: $9,704
Room and board: $7,800<br>
Books and supplies: $1,216<br>
Estimated personal expenses: $2,658<br>
Transportation expense: $929</p>
<p>Anyway…you either need to find a school that will give you a large merit scholarship…or you may find yourself commuting to a local school. I don’t see where the money is going to come from.</p>
<p>Is there a state school you can commute to?</p>
