So hard to get a handle of the academic monies offered as a 9th and 10th grader because the GPA and test scores arent available yet. But if you commit as a 10th grader you are probably getting more than half athletically which some of the strain off academics that is until you realize being a fulltime employee of the school isnt your cup of tea while you are going for enginerring and then when you quit the team you are left with little aid. Academic money is the way to go everytime
