[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So would all the names listed be getting scholarships? Full rides? Or is the bonus that they get admission to college? If get scholarship to a college and get injured, can student stay once enrolled? What if they are just dropped from team but not bc of injury?[/quote]

I think some families are looking for full scholarships if we are talking about star athletes. Some will probably get those full scholarships, some will probably have to settle for partial or no scholarships. In some cases, families are thinking strategically about college placement, especially in D3 schools. They might not get a full ride (or any ride), but volleyball may be the deciding factor that moves the student application from the "maybe" pile to the "yes" pile. This might be a big deal for those who try to study at very selective schools. [/quote]

The Ivy League is Div 1 in most sports, and gives no athletic scholarships.  So it's all about the admissions bump at those schools.  People also aren't getting athletic scholarships at Div 3 places like Amherst, Williams, Swarthmore -- they are hoping for the admissions bump and also just the fun of playing in college.
My oldest is at a selective school and plays a sport just for fun!  Was not an admissions bump and gets no money for it.[/quote]
