[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Totally depends upon the sport and school, and what the coach happens to need that year. I don't know about bucknell specifically, but schools of that tier often offer "academic" scholarships to good students who are athletes - they aren't going to talk about this actively, it's something that you feel out during the recruiting process. I would target just schools that you know offer academic merit - that's a good proxy for who would give money to an athlete. Have your athlete register in all the portals, and have the kid ask as part of the first call "Do you offer scholarships for atheletes? and "Would I be eligible for an academic merit scholarship if I apply early decision?"  If you are looking at Bucknell, I happen to know that Lehigh does offer merit for sports if that's of interest.

If you are looking at ivys, i would explore that path a bit more - if you have multiple kids in college, you might be surprised at the level of aid you can get - ivys are more generous than other schools here.  If a coach is interested, ask them to connect you to the financial aid office and they can often give you a good sense of what you are eligible for. [/quote]
