FOR EVERYONE
ugh the intricacies of the process.
COLLEGE PLACEMENT
IJGA has an experienced team to assist each student to find their
RIGHT fit college to achieve their golf and academic goals. After
creating a college list, a roadmap is created for the students’ test prep
and college application strategy. Together with the Golf Coaches,
IJGA merges the college list and helps the students seek a scholarship
to play college golf at their RIGHT fit school.
COLLEGE PLACEMENT TRACK:
• Students have access to dozens of tournaments specially chosen
for maximum college coach exposure.
• IJGA’S College Planning and Placement Team will guide students
through the entire college recruiting and placement process.
• Whether students aspire to play NCAA Division I, II, III or NAIA golf,
IJGA will prepare and equip players for the school of their dreams.
PLANNING IS THE FIRST AND MOST
IMPORTANT STEP IN COLLEGE PLACEMENT.
Boasting a near 100% college placement rate, the IJGA approach
to college preparation has proven effective time and time again.
Students have received over $52 million in scholarships and IJGA
alumni have gone to attend schools with prestigious golf programs,
such as: Georgia Tech, Princeton, Dartmouth, Oklahoma State
University, Texas A&M, Notre Dame, Yale, University of Alabama,
UCLA and Boston College. Ultimately, IJGA students have gone on
to have successful careers in the PGA, LPGA, and European Tours,
with some alumni reaching the ranks of famous golfers.
IJGA’s College Planning & Placement works with student-athletes
and families to create an individualized roadmap for reaching their
goals of studying and playing golf at the collegiate level. This work
begins when a student enters high school (grade 9) and incorporates
families, coaches and both university admissions and athletic staff in
their efforts.
