It's especially hard to get athletic scholarships at Harvard, because as with all Ivy League universities they don't award them.
Of course, I'm sure the athletics department does apply other forms of pressure to various parts of Harvard, making it easier for athletes to get admitted and pass their classes etc. But any scholarships they award are (corruption aside) at least theoretically based around financial need.
- pirate787 5y agoThey don't have scholarships but there are dedicated athletic admissions slots.
- meetingthrower 5y agoYes, and I think you will find that those slots cover most of the rich white male population present at Harvard...
- jkaplowitz 5y agoOh plenty of them are non-athletic legacies too I expect.
- jkaplowitz 5y agoI'd easily believe that, yeah. (Since it's hard to tell in text: no I'm not being sarcastic.)
