[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Drake is a non scholarship football school.  Acceptance rate maybe high, but if you don’t have good grades you will be paying a lot of money.  Lots of lower level division one is similar.  Small athletic money, but potentially high academic money. Fancy cookies.[/quote]

Not really:

100% of qualifying full-time undergraduate students admitted directly from high school receive a Presidential Scholarship, covering 51-66% of tuition cost. 100% of first-time transfer students receive 45-55%.

Yes, really.

Students/Athletes would utilize the Presidential Scholarship to get the TUITION down to right around the national average… 51-66% of TUITION can still be nearly $30k and that doesn’t include room and board.

Maybe we’re all not Mrs. Money Bags, but where I come from $29k for tuition + room and board for a year of school is pretty expensive. [/quote]

Except you missed the point...100% of all kids accepted to Drake from high school get this benefit.  The football player who may have 1000 SATs (if he even submits them...only 20% do) and mediocre grades gets the Presidential Scholarship the same as any other accepted kid.[/quote]

Yep, this lady is definitely the 25%. [/quote]

It’s right there in the link…100% of all accepted kids from HS receive the scholarship.

Rather than just cut tuition, the school keeps its rack rate high to make it seem more prestigious than it is.
