DDs friend has verbally committed to play VB at a SEC school. Parents are considering early HS graduation to enroll in Jan. Will her scholarship cover that first spring semester?
(They are asking the coach but I figured I’d likely get a quick response here)
Another club mate did so in the Big Ten but had to pay for that first semester.

I'm inclined to say its a school to school decision. Probably depends on if they have $ available for them

I would've asked about the scholarship availability first before making the decision to graduate early. Also, there's something to be said for taking it easy during the final term academics-wise or using that time to get in beast mode shape.

You'll be more physically mature too. |

They might also PAC on about 12 pounds depending upon what they do with their time. No video games and lots of physical exercise is the prescribed recipe. |

There are NCAA rules regarding how the schools can distribute scholarships.
Unless they have available scholarships, they would need a player to graduate early in order for them to give the scholarship to a player in the spring semester. I think there are some other ways, but they cannot take a scholarship away from a player, and I don't think that even if a player transfers schools they can take that scholarship and offer it to another athlete.

I’ve seen a transfer scholarship that opened up for spring given to a new athlete also if an athlete graduates early, that is an option. However, if that senior graduate changes their mind and drops a class, or just doesn’t pass something, that scholarship for spring is theirs!! Best option is if the schools has a scholarship open the fall previous. |

There would be no guarantee of a scholarship for the spring semester if she enrolls early.
First, the team must have an available scholarship. One possibility is if the team has an open scholarship for the entire year, but I would think that few SEC teams would have an open ship. If they did end up with an unexpected open ship, likely they would give it to a walk-on. More likely possibility is a ship coming open in the spring. Most common reasons for this happening is a senior graduating in the fall, especially a redshirt senior, or a player transferring after the fall semester. However even if this is a possibility, the coach may prefer to give the spring ship to a walk-on or may want to hold it for the possibility of getting a transfer after the fall.
Your statement makes it appear that the player is a high school senior this fall. If so, this is a conversation that should have already been held with the coach. I suspect that most coaches have already made plans for any open ship this academic year.
