COLLEGE PLANNING & PLACEMENT Boasting a near 100% college placement rate, the IJGA approach to college preparation has proven effective time and time again. Our students have received over $52 million in scholarships and our 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. Our students have also 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 stu- dent-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 our efforts. • We develop a clear, long-term game plan for the recruiting process including financial aid, academic testing and admissions. • We build a golf and academic resume. • We share what college coaches are looking for and how they recruit. • We assist with understanding the NCAA & NAIA eligibility centers. • We provide college searches for “best fit” school based on academics and collegiate golf skill level. • We stay in touch with alumni.
