You should have asked for more. Every top recruit I know gets a lot except Ivies which give nothing, although some have secret grant money that they can be creative with.


"secret grant money" - Sorry, BS flag is out and thrown. Those are the kinds of "secrets" that can get coaches fired. Plus, if you are so lose about it that you are willing to bring it up on a forum - it would have been mentioned at the wrong bar long ago.



My kid doesn't get it but I know it's there at Cornell. A good friends kid goes there and does. My kid gets well over 40% athletic $ at an ACC


It is not "secret"- there is grant money and because a recruit needs to have a certain GPA/ ACT/SAT for the academic index- there is grant money that can be given to a student athlete that is wanted/needed for the institution and cannot afford a 70 grand tuition, which many cannot. Alum give lots of money to see "their" teams do well.


That makes more sense now. There are certain requirements for receiving this grant money and it is therefore tracked and approved by the administration. It's not the "secret" wink wink - type money that would be illegal. Why was it referred to as "secret grant money" by the original poster? Is it because they did not know about it and thought that people just kept it a secret.
