My daughter just received an offer from a division II school where normal tuition is 34k a year with room and board. My question is what amount of athletic money would be considered a good offer? She's a catcher... Thanks for replies!!
It is the out-of-pocket that is important. 50% of 60k still leaves you 30k out of pocket... 20% of 10k leaves you 8K out of pocket.... so who got the better deal???
You need to go through the schools financial aid people and see what other money is available - grants, academic money, summer work programs, etc, etc. If there is additional money there that again reduces your out-of-pocket. You need to know your out of pocket # to know if you can afford it - if you can then you have a good offer
Coach should be walking you into admissions/finance - they will have relationships there that will help.
As for % for catcher: in D2 there is a ridiculously small scholarships available so anything near 50% is probably the best a coach can do.
