The recent quote from Coach Vaughn of Colgate confirms that Colgate awards
preferential need-based aid to athletes. In fact, what he said is basically
the definition of preference. This is exactly what some schools such as
Union, for instance (until this year), maintained they would not do. Does
anyone know, definitively, whether or not the Ivies do or do not award
preferential need based aid to athletes? We have had this discussion before
but it would be interesting to know if there is any new information
available.
 
        Btw, Union now gives preferential need-based aid in the form of loans
which do not carry an absolute requirement to be paid back. But only
foreign nationals can get them. (You will be forgiven for shaking your head
in wonderment.)
