[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are private endowments that can be used as merit aid. It is basically a private scholarship it is given by a private person or trust or foundation. Often, they are geared toward an ivy, they are not part of the "Ivy's endowment" but they are specifically for an ivy.

[b]If you child is a junior an not on the roster yet for the ivy he probably won't be depending on the sport... Unless it is football andhe has also been recruited by Alabama, which I suspect he has not.[/b][/quote]

OP here - thank you. Definitely not being recruited by Alabama for any sport!

We know a kid who plays a sport for a top SLAC that officially only meets demonstrated need (a name you see alot on this board); he was in a similar situation and they "found" $10K/year for him, and he chose to attend because the affordability gap narrowed considerably. I just wanted to know if this type of thing happens often. As I said, DS being recruited by good public and private schools - we are lucky to be in that situation.
