[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS is an excellent player on a top 2028 team.  Assuming he is as awesome as I say he is, should he expect to be offered "merit" money at a private high school (or schools) as an enticement to attend because of his lacrosse skills?  Or is this crazy talk?  He would not qualify for financial aid, nor merit aid based solely on academics.  I've heard various stories over the years, but don't know what is true.  What's the deal?[/quote]

It really depends on the school.  Truth is many great lacrosse players in the area do not need money so they just pay full tuition.  Very few schools in the area are really "top" level programs who would care enough to even think about this.  In any case, an "offer" would not be made.  It would go like this:  Coach asks if you are ready to attend and expresses interest.  This is assuming you even meet with a coach.  Coach may ask if there is any reason you would not attend.  Parents would have to mention financial concerns and a coach may say "let me see what I can do."  Some lacrosse coaches have zero sway with the school.  Some work with or even for the school.  I would not expect to get multiple offers.  [/quote]
