Do Ivy League schools offer athletic scholarships?

Nope. Not a single one. Ivy League schools are famous for their brains and their prestige, but not for handing out athletic scholarships. Instead, they offer need-based financial aid, which has nothing to do with your mile time or batting average. That said, Ivy League coaches still recruit athletes and can provide a serious admissions boost if you’re academically qualified. So yes, you can play sports at an Ivy and even be recruited, but you won’t be getting paid for your talents. Think of it more like getting a golden ticket to an elite school, just not the kind that comes with free tuition and team-issued sneakers.
