In response to tkapiko
"But Division III schools can't offer scholarships and Oni and his family soon decided they needed more financial aid than Williams could offer.
"The tuition for Williams was over $60,000 and they weren't really giving us that much help on it," Oni recalled. "So my family literally could not pay." Oni's parents, Oludotun and Opeyemi, are Nigerian. His father is a Professor at University of Phoenix and also an engineer. (Miye's full name is Olumiye.)
The financial aid people at Williams suggested, somewhat sarcastically Oni thought, that his family consider the Ivy League because those schools are obviously strong academically but can also offer better financial aid packages."
You have to love the burn there, given how it turned out. Take that, Williams. Also shows the importance of endowments and their impact on financial aid in Ivy recruiting.
