Application

12th Grade

  • If you have not decided which school you want to attend, apply to your top 5-7 schools and get your applications done early. Know your deadlines and where to find the applications. (Be aware of supplemental applications that may be required by the school for a particular major or honors program when applying using the Common Application.)

  • If your applications require letters of recommendation, ask for them early. Remember to provide your guidance counselor, teacher or coach with your updated Student-Athlete Profile so he/she is aware of the full scope of your academics, athletics and activities. Thank them for their assistance!

  • Communicate with the college coaches to let them know when you have submitted your application.

  • Continue to compete in high visibility tournaments/events.

  • Work with your coach and your guidance counselor if you need help making a final decision.


FINANCIAL AID (Begins in October)

  • Attend a Financial Aid presentation so you can learn about the various forms of financial aid and scholarships.

  • Visit the CCC College and Career Center (CCC) - Senior info at your school to stay on track and learn about additional scholarships. Note: Legitimate scholarship opportunities are FREE. You should never pay to apply for scholarships.

  • If you are looking for additional scholarship money and know you are being offered athletic scholarship aid (partial or full), make sure the additional scholarships do not consider athletic achievement as a factor for receiving the scholarships. (All additional scholarships will have to be reported to your college's financial aid office to avoid any conflict.)

  • Complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) which opens October 1st.

DECIDE & COMMIT

  • Evaluate financial aid, grants, academic scholarships, athletic scholarship, and how they are being applied. Use this financial aid worksheet to assist.

  • Make sure you have applied for scholarships through your high school.

  • Make a final decision based on financial and academic fit.

  • Request your final amateurism certification.

  • Sign a National Letter of Intent if you are receiving an athletic scholarship. This is a binding contract.

  • ​After graduation, send your final transcript to the NCAA Eligibility Center or the NAIA Eligibility Center.
