It's not an Ivy League thing, the rest don't do it. Those 3 have the endowments to afford it. What it means is that if you are accepted, and your middle class income parents can't afford it, you only pay what you can afford. The rest is forgiven. In essence if the coach can persuade admissions to accept a student athlete he or she will get a full ride. It just won't be called an athletic scholarship. Oh, and if you fail to make the team your scholarship is still good. The reverse is also supposed to be true. If Dad is a multi-millionaire you pay the full cost even if you are the next Michael Jordan, because there is no athletic scholarship, only financial need. So the coach at Princeton, she only had to get you admitted. The finance part was easy. [/QUOTE]
