[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was an athletic recruit at Princeton and paid full freight. If there was some way around that no one told me. But everything had gotten crazier so maybe this has changed.[/quote]

I was also an athletic recruit to Princeton from a middle class family, and received no FA.   I was able attend Princeton only because of a full tuition ROTC scholarship which required an 8 year military service committment.  I sure wish I had received one of these mysterious athletic scholarships that PP's say are readily available.....  [/quote]

[b]That is a perfect example of a scholarship that is not FA.[/b] Not mysterious... is there a UMD grad who can show this Princeton grad how to google?[/quote]

Are you really that clueless?  The funding for an ROTC scholarships does not come from the college or university -- it is paid by the Air Force, Army or Navy.[/quote]

Are you really that clueless?  The funding for some endowment scholarships (just like ROTC) do not come from the college or university... it is paid for by a private benefactor and managed by trustees.[/quote]

Not the same as the college admissions office identifies desirable candidates that may be eligible for an endowment scholarship.  In contrast, the admissions office has no role at all in the identification or selection of students awarded ROTC scholarship.  Another huge difference is that the ROTC scholarship is really more of an education loan from the military to be paid back with several years of your life after graduation, and even possibly with your life itself.

I did not say the admissions office had role. As a matter of a fact, I have repeated over and over it s [b]not[/b] manged by the school. They are private scholarships, from private donors that the coach is knowledgable about and hooks kids up with these scholarships and private benefactors.

Yes, ROTC is paid back with service and these are only paid back by playing a sport.

It is also done for the art students.

Uh huh. Keep telling yourself this. But others should not be deluded.[/quote]
