[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter was recruited by several lower level D1 teams and a bunch of D3 programs. Initially she was focused on the D1 programs. But the more she talked with them, the more it became clear that while they would be happy to have her, she wasn’t going to get significant scholarship money.  While she was going to be a star of most of the D3 programs she talked to. Also we had a lot of talks about what happens in four years because her sport doesn’t go pro.

She is going to a D3 school where she applied regular decision but with a coach “recommendation”. [/quote]

That’s great. Did she get merit scholarship at d3? [/quote]

D3 schools do not offer athletic scholarships. Someone will chime in and say it is but it's just 'disguised' as merit but do not believe them. Coaches say what they need to say to get kids and if getting a kid means pretending that some of their aid is for 'athletics' they will happily do so. D3 programs financial aid to athletes has to be reported and is audited to ensure that athletes do not receive more merit aid than the typical student with the same stats.[/quote]
