The Ivy League schools (Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard,
The University of Pennsylvania, Princeton and Yale) do not give
athletic scholarships. Financial Aid (on the basis of need alone) is
available to any undergraduate, whether or not he/she is a varsity athlete.
Many top varsity athletes at Ivy League universities pay full tuition
and fees because they do not qualify for financial aid. It is not uncommon
for student-athletes to turn down scholarship offers from other schools in
order to attend Ivy League universities.
