<p>Is it true Ivy League doesn't give FA to recruited atheletes, especially for tennis players?</p>

<p>I believe Ivy’s give the same FA to recruited athletes as they do to non-athletes.</p>

<p>The Ivy’s only give FA on a need basis, which means a recruited athlete should get the same finaid treatment as any other admittee. The recruited athletes’ advantage (i.e., their “hook”) is that they may be given preference in admission over another applicant with similar stats but without a “hook”.</p>

<p>athletic scholarships: no
needed-base scholarhips: yes, like all other students
merit scholarships: no, same answer to all other students </p>

<p>IOW, what krm said</p>

<p>My cousin swam for an Ivy about 10 years ago. They don’t give scholarships, but they do find ways to get money to the athletes. She was given a cush job in the athletic facility that paid well. She also was given more FA than her family initially qualified for. She was a star, however. She won league titles and made the NCAA meet. I don’t all athletes get such treatment, however.</p>

<p>i know somebody who plays tennis (was amazing top in the nation) got full ride to Harvard</p>

<p>so there’s no recruited athelete at Ivies?</p>

<p>Yes, there are recruited athletes, but they use this to gain admission, not gain scholarships.
There are no athletic or merit aid.</p>

<p>About 17% of every ivy class are recruited athletes. They get aid if they have need. This is a big issue for many athletes–few very top schools have athletic scholarships (Stanford and Duke are exceptions).</p>
