[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are college scholarships guaranteed for 4 years in soccer or is each year a 1 year agreement?

It seems that coaches are loading the back end of scholarships. For example

Year 1 - 20%
Year 2 - 50%
Years 3-4 - 100%

Is this ever put in writing and what is stopping a school from changing their minds [/quote]

Length of offer depends on the school and yes, when you sign, it will be in writing. On an NLI, there are spaces for both the term and the amount offered. On my child's NLI, the term was set forth as four years, and the amount per year (which for him/her, does change), is also specified.  In the accompanying text, it explicitly states the the offer is for four years, contingent upon continued participation on the team.[/quote]

NLI are only good for one year.  You may have a document with an agreement on terms but you are only signing (and they are only offering) one year.  " When you sign an NLI, you agree to attend the institution listed on the NLI for one academic year in exchange for that institution awarding athletics financial aid for one academic year."  It's best to go to NCAA etc for the correct information.
