Question:

I am trying to finish up the EADA Report in the Financial Reporting System. Where do I report the athletically related student aid awarded to non-student atheltes? For instance, the scholarships we give to athletic trainers, tutors, sports information intern, etc...?
- Carla Wilson, University of Missouri Kansas City

Responses:

I would put it under "others, not related to a specific sport or gender."
- Maria K. DeJulio, NCAA

It doesn't allow me to put it in there. The "others" field is grayed out.
- Carla Wilson

I'm not sure that those students are receiving athletics aid according to the federal definition.

Athletically related student aid means any scholarship, grant, or other form of financial assistance, offered by an institution, the terms of which require the recipient to participate in a program of intercollegiate athletics at the institution.

Aid to the tutors, sports info, etc. wouldn't really qualify as this.
- Maria DeJulio

That seems weird, for a few of reasons:

1) We reported it in the past, on Worksheet 8B: Expenses Not Directly Attributable to Either Men's or Women's Programs (Athletic Student Aid). 2) I thought the report wanted to know all the revenues/expenses of the Athletics program. 3) This year's report wants us to report sports information and athletic trainer salary information in the revenue/expense section, so it would seem that they would want to know scholarship info as well.

CABMA - Is anyone reporting this information? If so, where?
- Carla Wilson

We traditionally reported managers scholarships under that same category. I also tried to enter it under the "not attributable to either Men's or Women's programs. Since that category is grayed out, and we are supposed to report all of our expenses, I plan to put it in as an "other expense."

What I did was to go back to page one and check other programs where it asked for sport offerings and then it frees up the grayed out section.
