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. • IJGA develops a clear, long-term game plan for the recruiting process including financial aid, academic testing and admissions. • IJGA builds a golf and academic resume. • IJGA shares what college coaches are looking for and how they recruit. • IJGA assists with understanding the NCAA & NAIA eligibility centers. • IJGA provides college searches for “best fit” school based on academics and collegiate golf skill level. • IJGA stays in touch with alumni.
