Can I sign Chai Latte to athletics aid in March? Not signing NLI. Have to sign this kid! Game changer! Caramel Macchiato signed in November and now I find out the financial aid office is being generous today. Can you believe it? Caramel will receive a full academic scholarship which is more than the athletics aid and wants to take the larger sum of aid. Great Deal! What happens to his NLI? It s May. I have not heard anything from Half & Half in months. He has checked out so I don t know if he is going to be here in the fall. I could really use his scholarship. What happens to his NLI? 9

I have been contacted by the father of one of my signee s from last year. You remember Swiss Miss who never showed up for school. Her father wants to know if I still have the athletic scholarship available for her. Yikes! Since this is a year later, do I have to keep the aid for her if NLI is still binding?
