[QUOTE="forensicbuzz, post: 665612, member: 198"] Partially true. Endowed scholarships are counted at part of the 85. If they weren't, then big schools would have 120 kids on scholarship every year, with big donors endowing an athletic scholarship. There's no loophole there. Now, a walk-on student athlete can earn scholarships such as the Zell Miller or Hope scholarships, scholarships that are merit-based and have clearly define requirements. I'm pretty sure once offered a grant-in-aid, a student athlete cannot receive school-related funding without it counting towards the 85 limit. Of the approx. 600 SA scholarships at uga, about 200 are endowed. Where I'm unsure is when we're looking at nationally available scholarships, where there is no affiliation to the school, and they are merit or need based or something like the GI bill. I doubt these are excluded (maybe the GI Bill because that's different in itself) because if they could be abused, they already would have been. [/QUOTE]
