REGISTER WITH THE NCAA CLEARINGHOUSE ASAP! APPLY FOR FINANCIAL AID

Meet with your guidance counselor to ensure you are on target with your core academic requirements. Are you on target to graduate?

Schedule yourself to re-take the SAT and/or ACT. Consider using a study aide. Most students will score higher when taking their board test a second time. This will ultimately help (financially) with scholarship consideration.

Stay active in your extra-curricular and community oriented activities.

Update your player profile each semester. Consider your GPA, class rank, test scores, academic honors, athletic stats & honors and your contact information.

Review and update your college list. By now you should be targeting schools that have expressed interest in your abilities as a collegiate athlete.

Mail your profile (each semester). Send to 200-300 schools for MAX exposure. Consider using an outside source that can expedite your information to colleges.

Prepare yourself to talk with college coaches both via the phone and through on-campus visits. Educate yourself on what the college coaches are looking for and
know what questions you should ask a college coach.

Consider making some phone calls to the top schools of interest to you. Continue updating your highlight video and your log of college contacts.

Continue your studies and working hard on your athletic abilities. And remember, until a coach makes you a written offer, you don’t have an offer!

As a senior you are allowed 5 official visits paid for by the college(s) that are recruiting you.

Most high school seniors will assume they are being recruited by simply receiving lots of letters. The fact is, if the phone does not ring and ring throughout your senior year you are not a top prospect and need to find ways to draw attention to yourself.

In most sports you can still earn a scholarship until July 31 after your senior year.
