You’re multi-faceted: learn how to make that shine in college admissions. Get advice from admissions counselors with a background in athletics and academics. What are the must-haves on college applications? How can you balance grades, sports, and admissions applications? (Burnout is real!) When you get acceptance letters how do you pick the right college?

Community-building, service, and leadership

Show your commitment to community service and leadership. Join, lead, or even found a local chapter. (That last one looks great!) Many colleges look for students who demonstrate these characteristics. They are likely to be better students and better alum.

Your Goal: Impress Recruiting Coaches

Looking to take your game to the college level? College coaches want to see that you're more than just a great athlete. They want to see that you're a well-rounded person who's going to contribute to their team in more ways than one.

Joining Student Athlete Scholars shows character

College coaches look for academics, leadership, and service, too! It shows you balance responsibilities and like to learn character-building skills. Service, quick learning, teamwork, and communication are important in sports teams.

You’re not just the “easy” answer…you’re the best answer

Student athletes who are awarded merit scholarships aren’t just taking weight off the team’s athletic scholarship pot (if the team has one!). They are also more likely to boost the team’s average GPA, show more responsibility, and take on leadership roles. These are all things that help the team and the coach.
