I have noticed from a few other sites that several young men from Kentucky have received the opportunity to play at the Ivy League level lately. An important item to remember for those considering these member schools is that there are no full cost of attendance scholarships available at these institutions. Yes one would receive a wonderful education but with the out-of-state tuition rates nearing $50,000 per year, the individual will likely have to make arrangements to satisfy the remaining balance determined by the Financial Aid Office. I still think this can be a win-win for these young men. Would you rather have an education from Princeton, Yale or Harvard that would provide limitless opportunities upon graduation and allow you to play football at the same time or potentially pay the same amount at another institution as a preferred walk-on? I think this would be a no brainer for those that come from affluent families that can afford the financial burden if that is their best offer.

FINANCIAL AID CRITERIA
Ivy League schools provide financial aid to students, including athletes, only on the basis of financial need as determined by each institution’s Financial Aid Office. There are no academic or athletic scholarships in the Ivy League. A coach may assist a prospective student-athlete to obtain an estimated financial aid award, however only the Financial Aid Office has the authority to determine financial aid awards and to notify students officially of their actual or estimated awards.
