Message: [QUOTE="Chuck, post: 2709098, member: 1646"] There are plenty of grant opportunities at Ivies. Many students at Harvard pay nothing or very little because of the size of the endowments. I also have a friend that played basketball at an Ivy. He opened corks at alumni events and "guarded" a locked parking lot for good pay. Ivy admission is even more interesting though. The league applies an academic index to each school. Athletes have to be within certain standard deviations of the whole student body. Basically, the academic prowess of the fencing team can help bring in a lower qualified basketball player.
