Thanks all for the advice.

I have two follow up question on athletic scholarships/merit scholarships.

On the financial side, we are full pay, so the choice will be full pay at an Ivy/elite private or a merit or athletic scholarship elsewhere. We are careful with money, so a big scholarship could sway her from one program to another, but we are willing and able to go full pay too.

On athletic scholarships, is there any place to find data on the number of full scholarships offered? I understand funding for up to 20 scholarships per program, but those could be 20 full rides or 60 33% offers. It won’t make sense to do an OV at a program that cannot be competitive on scholarships and a 25-33% won’t cut it at an out of state public.

On merit scholarships, she will be competitive for merit at schools that offer it. Would merit be included if coaches offer a letter of intent or would they just share the athletic scholarship with merit coming later?

Thanks again for the help navigating through this. We aren’t using any rowing counselors, so trying to figure this out…
