Valuation EstimateHow is this calculated?
Scholarship match
$12,500–$19,500

Priced using general benchmarks — add your roster to improve this.

Public figures in this market are largely estimates or self-reported. Sightline shows ranges with confidence rather than single numbers — this is a planning aid against your own benchmarks, never an authoritative market quote.

Suggested Allocation
$6,500
(0.3% of annual budget)

Below market valuation ($12,624 floor) — reduced for tight remaining budget.

Optimal offer (maximizes expected value — acceptance odds × surplus): $10,200 · 26% estimated acceptance odds at that price.

27.1% · $13,000

Signing Risk
Moderate Risk35

A scratch what-if — nothing here is saved. The header chip reads the saved allocation above.

  • ↑ Price vs. budget: This pay is 35% of your remaining budget.
  • ↓ Talent: Graded 59 on your 20–80 scale — a strong grade eases the price risk.
  • ↓ Information: 81% of what you could have on file is there — you know what you're buying.
  • ↓ Academics: GPA 3.60 on file — solid academic footing lowers the risk.

This pay is 35% of your remaining budget ($44,450) — roughly 0.9 typical-sized signings (~$16,500 each) you'd be forgoing.

Built only from what you've entered — independent of the valuation estimate above.

Your private estimate of need-based aid this family may already qualify for (Pell, institutional aid, etc.) — based on what you know, never verified or inferred by Sightline. This only adjusts your estimated net cost below; it never changes the player's valuation.
