In talking to admission, the grant money offered to athletes on the team was in he range of $18-20K. That is a good chunk of change on top of financial aid and merit money, coupled with the chance to compete and play, enjoy college, get an education and perhaps with a championship.


Other than SUNY, it's a great way to go!! I plan on doing that for my son, and maybe my wife will let me get my mid life crisis dream car with the money savings!


SUNY schools can be the absolute best value net net. I wish my oldest would have attended Albany or Binghamton over a mid Atlantic school costing $60k+. The scholarship was only a dent in the overall cost. Hindsight.
