WP QB transfers to St. E’s
- Thread starter SwagDog
- Start date
Dooley will have no problems with the DIAA.. He had Sr xfers get waivers at Penn no problem
To say I'm shocked would be a lie. I wouldn't. Be surprised if you start seeing some others transfer before the school year starts. Penn will take a step back this season as I predicted.
RR, The extenuating circumstance is that STE didn’t have a QB........lol
Its fact.. St E's has roster up..... only 23 players on roster though ? hopefully they will be adding more. I also noticed they have Caravel back on their schedule starting next year so that is good
Yep, I see the QB's name on the roster. Don't know if it'll be enough for St. E to crack the playoffs this year, but that's why they play the games.
They had 16 freshmen on last years varsity roster, but only 7 sophomores listed on this years. Hopefully some more kids will join up now that classes have begun.
Some of the Freshman from last yr transferred out. One went to Sallies, another went back to Pa.
When we looked at it yesterday they must have been in the process of updating.. St E's has 29 now (9 sophs) and Jones is there

The times man the times... To be honest DIAA should just stop wasting time on these waiver hearings. You can transfer going into your Jr year now so why stop there. They approve the SR transfers anyway. Besides if taken to task legally they would lose as proven in other states. If the kid is legally enrolled in the school they should play. Forget about the waivers and focus illegal recruiting and offering inducements to make sure poaching isn't happening but as far as kids transferring, so be it, its their right to school where they want It's not like its not the same everywhere and not just DE..

I am assuming all of the private schools require each parent to submit some type of financial aid form, which includes their tax information. I am not sure if the info is available but that would answer some questions about the amount of aid given to each student.
I really struggle with this subject. On one hand, it offers a great opportunity to a student/family to experience a different school environment. But on the other hand you wonder if it really is done with the best intention of the student.
As far as recruiting, the privates have always recruited students. They do not have a feeder pattern. Now with school choice, every school has to do some type of recruiting.
I know this is an outlier, but I remember the one time walking through the halls at Sanford School and seeing laptops, ipads, and purses on the ground and tables with no one around. It left quite an impression on me. I am not sure I would do that in my own home! Haha
Most of the privates use an outside source to determine aide. Works very much like FAFSA for college. They will give a percentage or amount they feel the student can pay per year. They have to be re submitted each year.
Depending on what the school has available for financial aide determines how it gets dibied out. Most schools under their financial aide section of their website list the amount they give and what percentage of applicants receive aide.
for example
Sallies
Academic Scholarships
Over $500,000 was awarded for academic scholarships this school year. Academic scholarships are awarded to eighth grade students based on their performance on the entrance exam. Applicants who have the highest national percentile composite score at the December testing are eligible for a scholarship. These awards are renewable each year. Each student awarded an academic scholarship must maintain a quarterly GPA of at least 3.00 and not be placed on disciplinary probation for any reason.
Financial Aid
Financial Aid is based solely on demonstrated need. Any family who feels unable to afford the full cost of tuition is encouraged to apply for financial aid. Typically, 80% of the students who apply for financial aid receive it. Over $1 million was granted in financial aid for this school year.
Financial aid applications are processed via School and Student Services (SSS), a service of the National Association of Independent Schools. SSS generates an estimated amount each family can contribute to educational expenses based on the financial information provided. This ensures fair and objective financial aid decisions.
another example St Andrews ( because they have a huge tuition)
Full Tuition for 2018-2019
$60,470
Percent of Student Body
Receiving Grants 50%
Average Grant $44,808
Total Financial Aid Granted $6,253,668

I am actually kind of shocked at St M with 1mil plus. Based on their enrollment your pretty much damn near 100%
St E's has a assistance program subsidized through the Diocese of Wilmington but its only for k-8. Vision for the Future program.
The HS has aide ranging from 500 to 5850 (half tuition) that comes from St E's financial aide budget. Aide Budget not listed

Caravel is a completely private institution and not required to list budgets etc.. but from my experience they have so much available for aide and they dibbie it out through their qualifying process. typically its no more than 10 to 15% They don't have any where near what the Catholic schools have.. Using estimated data somewhere around 200k for high school I could be off some though
