| Best of luck to him then.  He'll have a great education to fall back on when his playing days are over, and he'll still get to play lacrosse. |

| good for him. I knew a girl that passed on minor D1 schools to attend Harvard and gave up basketball entirely. Can't go wrong with an Ivy League degree though. |

Also as business owner are you going to hire a guy with accolades from Princeton or accolades from Michigan if they are equal in all other things. |

| Good to see there are athletes that still care about their education out of high school. More power to the guy. |

But the article itself points out that need-based financial aid can often add up to the equivalent of a full scholarship.
If he has visited Princeton, really likes the school, and wants to go there, I say more power to him.  |

If he has visited Princeton, really likes the school, and wants to go there, I say more power to him.  | the article also eludes to the fact that his family is evidently quite wealthy. However, I still maintain he gets a hefty academic scholarship. |

I was simply repeating from the article that the school does offer considerable financial assistance to those who actually do need it.
I wish him the best. |
