<p>Does a partial soccer scholarship count against my family in regards to need based financial aid?</p>
<p>Not sure what you’re asking…</p>
<p>If you have need…for instance, </p>
<p>COA is $40k per year</p>
<p>EFC is $15k per year</p>
<p>“need” is $25k per year</p>
<p>Then, if partial athletic scholarship is $10k per year, that will get applied to the $25k of need. That will leave $15k of “need”. How the school covers that depends on how much money the school has… </p>
<p>Does the school “meet need”? If so, then that remaining $15k of need will get covered.</p>
<p>But…are you asking if that partial athletic scholarship will cover your EFC? </p>
<p>Can you give us some real numbers…</p>
<p>How much is school</p>
<p>How much is EFC</p>
<p>How much is the partial scholarship?</p>
<p>I don’t know why you think a partial scholarship will “hurt” aid.</p>
