They aren't academic or athletic scholarships. The term "scholarship" is typically only applied to money given (not loaned) based on merit -- whether it's being good at math or putting a ball in a hoop. HOWEVER, Harvard and Princeton have absurdly generous "need-based" financial aid programs, which result in most students (many of whom are not that poor) paying nothing or next-to-nothing for an education. Essentially, a coach can go to an urban school, recruit any student, and tell him/her that he/she will be able to go to Princeton for free... if they can get in. Something like 65% of Princeton's student body is on some amount of financial-aid. I believe any family earning under $80K/year gets to send their kid for free.

Hello Billikens! I'll be following your basketball program here over the next few days, so feel free to ask any questions you may have about Princeton and I can answer 'em. I want to know: is there anyplace I could see some clips/highlights of this year's SLU team playing ball? Anywhere I can read a run-down of the starting line-up and off-the-bench stars? ivy.basketball-u.com is a great resource to learn about Princeton and all the Ivy teams (especially Cornell right now). There are some articles as well as a great free message board. At Princeton, the only SLU we are used to is St. Lawrence University. They're in our ice hockey conference. This is quite a change of pace!
