[quote=Anonymous]D1 scholarships above a 1/3rd fraction are the rarest of rare. 1/2 is about where Steele Stanwick was as a returning All America and arguably the best player in the college game.

If you need financial help to pay for your son's college, it is much more likely to come via normal financial aid than athletic grant-in-aid. Based on my own experience, getting a grant-in-aid scholarship for a sport can damage your best opportunity to affordably attend college because there is no double dip. Once a kid takes scholarship grant-in-aid, then that same kid is ineligible for normal financial aid. The gap can be made up with academic merit scholarship money in addition, but that would depend on how good a student the kid is. Savvy college coaches will steer you toward the best financial possibilities outside of an athletic scholarship, and listen keenly and follow that advice. A lot of parents are so ego driven to say there is an athletic scholarship involved that they literally sever a path toward more affordable college planning. Happens all the time.[/quote]
