My daughter recently committed to a D2 program. Not a lot of scholarship money but it's a good program and the school fits her academically and I think she will play. It's a state school and we are out of state. Price wise it's reasonable but there is about a 10,000 per year difference between in state and out of state tuition.
My question is this: Do the coaches and/or administration have the ability to offer in state tuition to out of state athletes? If the coaches are to be believed (and I do believe them) they don't have a huge scholarship budget, no where near the 7.2 allowed but can they offer similar tuition as in state residents would pay?
Any advice is appreciated.
If a school wasn't using all of their allotted scholarships I would say the coach could offer your DD In-state tuition. In that case it would depend on school policy and how they do their accounting. When schools use all their scholarships any money or “tricks” above and beyond what’s available to ALL students would be an NCAA violation. As others have said, talk to the coach.
