[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My cousin's daughter got into Princeton on a fencing scholarship. I plan on signing my 5 year old up this fall.[/quote]

There are no athletic scholarships to Princeton.  Maybe you meant to say she got into Princeton and was a a very good fencer.  So fencing may have helped her in admissions. [/quote]

There are, indeed. no scholarships to the Ivies.

But recruiting by Ivies for the marquis sports is very aggressive.

The Ivy League has a whole system set up  --- The Academic Index --- to regulate the effort.

And the FA given by Ivies is 100% in the form of grants and not loans or work study arrangements.[b] So for all practical purposes these are scholarships[/b].[/quote]

Yes, FA may be the equivalent of scholarship money but you have to be entitled to FA to receive it.  I suspect that if you are wealthy enough to have a kid that specializes in fencing, squash, sailing, etc. your kid will not be receiving a FA "scholarship"[/quote]
