OMG ACHA is in the title of this thread. I didn?t see that, sorry. Ha

Best hockey name ever….Rick Zombo!

No scholarships for ACHA, which isnt all that different than NCAA. No scholarships for Ivy League, DII, and DIII. I think some Atlantic Hockey Assoc only offer 12 scholarships.
I know you know this Dean but for those that will be reading this.
59 total NCAA DI programs. Only the top 120 US players each year get some form of scholarship with the avg scholarship being $20K. The max is 18 scholarships per program. Not per year, per program. The numbers suggest that programs can only offer 2-3 full rides each year. From what I hear most hockey programs that offer scholarships break them up so each player gets some form of money while the blue chip players get full rides. Scholarships are provide one year at a time so they need to be re-upped after each year.

I do a presentation to the parents of a local youth org on the info above trying to set expectations. Most of them want their kids to get scholarships but have no idea how it works. Its actually easier to get an academic scholarship than an athletic scholarship.
