National Letter of Intent (with a twist)-QUESTION!

[skydrifter]

I need an answer from someone who knows--Our high school team has a setter who agreed to play at a D1 school--her first year she is a walk-on and the coach said we will try to get her three years on scholly. Does a walk-on still sign the NLI?

The NLI must include a written offer of athletics financial aid for the initial season.

13. If I am going to walk on to the team, may I sign a National Letter of Intent?

No. An institution is strictly prohibited from allowing you to sign a National Letter of Intent if you are a non-scholarship walk-on. In order for a National Letter of Intent it be considered valid, it must be accompanied by an athletics financial aid award letter, which lists the terms and conditions of the award, including the amount and duration of the financial aid. The athletics financial aid offer must be signed by both the student and his or her parent or legal guardian. Simply put, there must be an athletics scholarship for a National Letter of Intent to be valid.

No - they do not sigh a NLI.
