3. ONLY THE BOTTOM LINE PRICE MATTERS!
Financial Aid
ONLY THE BOTTOM LINE PRICE MATTERS!

4. #1- Athletic Aid
Only about 50% of colleges even offer athletic scholarships
Almost always NOT a full-ride

5. #2- Academic Aid Based on GPA, SAT, and curriculum
Each college has different criteria
Other Factors: Diversity, Religion, etc.

6. #3- Financial Need Based Aid
Based on family income, taxes, siblings, marital status, in/out of state, etc.
Government sponsored (FAFSA) vs school sponsored.

7. #4- Leverage Aid
Based on Competition!

8. Tyler, 3.2 GPA , 1000 SAT, Not FAFSA eligible
A Real World Example…

9. Competition = Savings! School Starting Price Initial Offer

Tusculum (TN)

Methodist (NC)

Because our package is somewhat out of line with that offered by Tusculum, I was able to get Tyler an ADDITIONAL $3,000 Methodist University Scholarship! The out-of-pocket cost after financial aid at Methodist will now be approximately $12,637.  We're still about $1,000 more than Tusculum, but it's the best we can do.  If we are truly Tyler's #1 choice, it's worth the additional investment, in my opinion. I will have our financial aid office prepare an updated financial aid award for Tyler detailing the additional scholarship assistance. I'm hoping this additional assistance will help...he's a great fit for Methodist, in my opinion!!! -Director of Admissions

10. How Many Options Are There?
Sport sponsorships and maximum awards
What are the odds?

11. No Athletic Scholarships.
Often times more aid available in academics, family need, and leverage to make up for athletic money you would get at a NCAA D2 or NAIA school.
Many of the best academic and athletic schools in the country.

12. Emory, MIT, Johns Hopkins, U of Chicago, Wash U, Tufts, Carnegie Mellon, Williams, Amherst- and MANY more!

13. When do College Coaches BEGIN tracking prospects?
We asked 300 College Coaches…

14. 13 year-old 7th grader David Sills verbally committed to USC in 2012

30% Freshman year or earlier (Major D1’s)
45% Sophomore year (Scholarship Level)
25% Junior year (Smaller Schools)
0% Senior year

Are You Overlooked?
You are not good enough (or)
Coaches do not know about you
Recruiting budgets
Your coaches are unable to help you
Someone advised you to ‘wait and see’
Rural or small school with no exposure
Late bloomer
BEST SOLUTION = MASSIVE EXPOSURE
