Let me play the cynic on the subject of scholarships for a moment. While the Ivies and some of the other schools don't offer atheletic scholarships they, like every other institution of higher learning in the country, can and do grant financial aid to students attending their school. Division III schools in other sports have the same rules but they still can and do award aid money to atheletes based on need. I have never liked the characterization of smaller and "more prestigious" not giving scholarships. They may not give atheletic scholarships but they do still provide scholarships to STUDENT atheletes.
