[quote=Anonymous][quote]So yea... your kid is not good enough that is a bummer. Stevenson and Sydney Hampton are good schools for the right kid, I would not be so snobby about it. It's not good for your child.. that is fine, but you dont' have to diss other colleges.

Financial aid never means loans to a D1 coach, they hope you are poor and will get financial aid so they can save their scholarship money. Most D1 athletes have you submit FASFA, has financial look at it to determine what type of money you need.

BTW, if you have financial aid and then get a scholarship many schools take away the FA. So if you get offered 10K in FA, then 15K in scholarship $$... that might not be 25K, it might be 15K. So make sure your coach knows if you are on FA, they don't always know how much you finally got. [/quote]

First -- sorry if it came across at "dissing" -- Stevenson and Hampton-Sydney are indeed good schools for the right kid.  Stevenson actually does have a program that would work for S20, but any FA/Scholarship $ would be off-set by OOS costs for us so it's definitely not at the top of the list.

You bring up a very good point RE FA v. Scholarship $$.  Unfortunately, S20 will not qualify for much if any FA - even though we will not be able to go Full Pay without some loans.  The whole "Financial Aid Package" world is unfamiliar waters for us.  We are hoping for some Merit Aid and Scholarships hopefully.  Are you saying that they would take away Merit Aid if he gets outside scholarship funds?
