[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So based on your points above Prep doesn’t provide FA for athletes if they have large rosters of kids who have been accepted through the “normal” admission process. [/quote]

There’s always room for exceptional talents regardless of how many boys they have on a team whose application weren’t aggressively supported by the Athletic Department.

If they identify a special athletic talent and he has the minimum level of academic and behavioral performance they require and if the kid needs financial aid, then he will probably get it. But kids that get significant aid are rare exceptions.

There isn’t an unlimited pool of Financial Aid available. About 25% of students get aid and the average grant is $10k to $15k, I think. Financial Aid isn’t like a scholarship. It’s like a 25% to 33% discount. More than a few full-aid students would quickly deplete a Financial Aid budget, the purpose of which is to fill the Class to capacity.[/quote]

Good point and that’s why you don’t see children who are impoverished going to Prep. [/quote]

Actually I know of two boys at Prep who are from the Washington Jesuit Academy, families are low-income and they are on "full ride". Faculty members (and some parents) help out with incidentals and extra fees (anonymously). There may be a few more, but these two are students I'm familiar with.[/quote]
