[quote=CageSage][quote=Anonymous] A YJ parent, a good friend, showed me the breakdown for their daughter's financial package for the U of MI. The lacrosse portion was almost 10% of the aid; the balance was academic, financial assistance based on parent income and the balance was a loan. A good portion of the tuition was paid, but overall the athletic scholarship was 6-7% of the total.
Your are in the wrong place, how dare you post facts! This post is the norm. When you take into account the limited scholorships per year available divided by a class of 6-12 you get a lot of 10 percenters. parents say they got a scholorship but what they dont tell you is thats its $5,000 a year on a $50,000 school. Academics is the way to go EVERY TIME! What you want is a 90% academic, 10% lacrosse and then when the kid realizes that this is an insane amount of lacrosse work just for $5,000 and that they cant keep up academically at a good school with all the sports commitmenats you walk away from sports, keep you 90% and make up the 5% selling italian ices over the summer.
You can't split up scholarships in D1. No such thing as 90% academic and 10% lax. It's either athletic OR academic.
