<p>My son has recieved the West Poin prepartory schalarship program. At first he was going to attend Marion Military Institute. Two weeks ago he was swimming at the YMCA National meet in Ft. Lauderdale and the West Point Coach was there. He approached my son to swim for Army, which of course he would love to do. The scholarship program contacted him and told him he is now being considered a recruited athlete for swimming and they would like for him to attend Mercersburg Academy which is where they send there swimmers. Here is my question: Mercersburg is quite a bit more expensive than Marion. Since it is a prepatory school and not a college, is it possible to obtain a student loan to attend.</p>
<p>You should call the swim coach at West Point and find out if there is any scholarship arrangement with Mercerburg Academy. You might also call the folks at AOG and ask if the AOG scholarship can be used at Mercerburg since he is a recruited athlete. Finally, check with the folks in student aid at Mercerburg, they may be able to offer him a scholarship…</p>
<p>he is getting money from W.P. and from Mercersburg. But there is still a significant portion left to be paid by us.</p>
