Simplify the college recruiting process with the new ATHLETIC QUEST College Recruiting System. This system allows athletes in any sport to find a college that meets their needs, market themselves to college coaches, and learn how to prepare themselves to play college sports.
Salt Lake City, UT (PRWEB) August 12, 2024 -- Sending impersonal form letters, making cold calls, and hoping to hear from college coaches are a thing of the past. A new College sports recruiting system has been developed by SPORTAMERICA.com (the largest producer of sports instructional videos for athletes worldwide) that teaches high school athletes how to get themselves recruited.
�We are a Recruiting System, not a traditional recruiting service� says Chris Miller, President. �Recruiting Services will charge anywhere from $300.00 to $3,000.00 claiming they will find you a college to play for. The problem is they end up placing only a very small percentage of players into programs that are not good fits for the athletes. You remain at the mercy of who they may know.�

International Education Week Encourages Study Abroad, Special Incentives for International Students
International student enrollments at US colleges and universities continues to decline, according to a recent report by CNN. While colleges and universities work to bring up enrollments by marketing to international students, other organizations are working equally hard to improve the appeal of studying abroad by helping international students obtain more services at lower costs.
Quincy, MA (PRWEB) November 15, 2024 -- International student enrollments at US colleges and universities continues to decline, according to a recent report by CNN [1. While colleges and universities work to bring up enrollments by marketing to international students, other organizations are working equally hard to improve the appeal of studying abroad by helping international students obtain more services at lower costs. Ross Mason, director of InternationalStudent.com, an online international student resource site, stated, "One of the biggest obstacles to studying abroad is the sheet cost. Most international students don't anticipate the extra expenses of living abroad, from increased insurance costs to high tuition, especially in the United States, where tuition at private colleges and universities outpaces financial aid."

On the other hand, the Athletic Quest System utilizes a data base of every college in the U.S. Over 2,300 colleges, universities and junior colleges in all. Players can search this database by specific criteria in order to find the college that fits their exact needs. In addition, Athletic Quest has developed a Player Profile system that allows players to input information about their academics, athletic accomplishments, statistics, photos, demographic and contact information. The Player Profiles are then searchable for free by college coaches nationwide.
�It�s a perfect recruiting tool,� says George Libbon, Collegiate Athletic Director and former Pac 10 coach. �If this Sports Recruiting System would have been available to student athletes when I was a coach, it would have made the recruiting experience an easier process for all involved.�

Smart Kids Can be Dumb About Money
Parents don�t appreciate how unprepared their kids are to manage financial matters on their own and how much kids need to know today to avoid problems and bad habits which will hurt them later in life.
(PRWEB) August 20, 2024 -- Parents need to take the time to educate their kids about money management before they leave for college. Unfortunately, college students often get in financial trouble at school. US Treasury statistics reveal that 45% of all college students are in debt with an average credit card debt load of $3,000 by graduation. Studies have also shown that young people typically get failing grades on tests of their financial knowledge. They are not adequately prepared for the financial choices they must make when living on their own for the first time. In fact, bankruptcy is growing faster among young adults in their 20's than in any other age group in the country. Yet, parents are sending their kids to college with only a mild lecture against overspending.

The concept of Athletic Quest was developed after talking to hundreds of college coaches about the recruiting process. �Limited budgets and time are key constraints in recruiting and both are limited. This is true even for elite NCAA Division I schools which comprise less than 15% of all college athletic programs.� says Miller. �Our program helps College Coaches find high school athletes, but more importantly, it teaches high school athletes how to find colleges. We teach players how to market themselves to college coaches as well as educate them on what it takes to play college sports.�
This proactive approach takes the guesswork out of college recruiting and includes three powerful tools. First, the website features both a PLAYER PROFILE for College Coaches to view, and a COLLEGE PROFILE for players to preview every college. The College Profile includes a college�s costs, competition level (NCAA I, II or II, NAIA or Junior College), academic requirements, athletic and school contact information and direct links to the Colleges athletic web sites. Finding this kind of data used to take an athlete 10-20 clicks. Now it can be found with just one click!
Second, each athlete receives an Official College Recruiting Book for their specific school year � grade 9, 10, 11 or 12. The books teach key lessons for the school year and include a monthly checklist of tasks to complete by the athlete in the areas of Academics, Athletics, Funding and Marketing themselves. A personal road map to college competition.
Third, they receive a How to Get Recruited video that outlines the process and steps they need to take in order to play college sports. It is all put together in an easy to use package. The cost is reasonable too, not thousands or even hundreds of dollars but only $99.95 for a full year subscription.
What do people think? Jeff Arbogast, President of the National Federation of High School Coaches Association says �I review hundreds of recruiting companies a year and keep files on all of them. The Athletic Quest System is by far the best thing out there!� Arbogast should know. He has won two national titles and sent 75 of his own track athletes to compete in college.
How good is it? Jordan School District, the largest district in the state of Utah has already adopted the program as a school text and class to teach its� athletes.
The Athletic Quest system is redefining the college recruiting process for the better. It is a must for every student athlete and is perfect for high school or junior college athletes in any sport that want to compete at the next level.

INTOTHEBEST Takes the Stress Out of College Applications
Another college application season is heating up and one million high-school seniors are putting their best foot forward and competing for the same spots. After buying a house, paying for their children�s education is the largest investment most parents make. It is critical to tap all the resources necessary to ensure their acceptance at the best school for them.
Levittown, NY (PRWEB) October 27, 2024 -- We strongly urge you to complete your applications well ahead of the deadlines, at least a week before the stated deadline. A great method to make that happen is to review the application materials as soon as you receive the applications from the various schools. Any forms to be completed by guidance counselors and teachers should be distributed well ahead of the stated deadline times. We know of several friends whose hopes of attending individual schools were scuttled by a disorganized, overwhelmed, or misdirected teacher. Check on the status of your recommendations before the last minute. Also, make additional copies of whatever portions you plan to submit so that you may quickly re-send your application forms should they be somehow mutilated or lost. Dogs are hungry for applications this year, we hear.

Federal PLUS Loans
Federal PLUS Loan
As a student entering college, it is very unlikely that you have a few spare checks lying around that you can cash and magically use to pay for college. Most college-aged students, ranging from late teens through mid-twenties, have no line of credit and cannot receive much money in loans if they need to do so in order to attend college. Therefore, a loan like the federal PLUS loan through the federal government and U.S. Department of Education makes it easy for you, as a potential college student, to use your parents� line of credit in order to gain financing options for your higher education.

An Education in Saving on Textbooks
Every year students flock to the college bookstore to purchase the various textbooks that they require for their classes. Little do these students realize that, in doing so, they are throwing good money away. As unbelievable as it may seem textbooks, in some cases, actually cost as much, if not more, than tuition.
On the surface the college bookstore may seem like a convenient source for textbooks. Titles are usually in-stock and students may purchase new textbooks or opt for the cheaper alternative of used books. In truth the money saved by purchasing used textbooks from the college bookstore is only a fraction of the amount that students could be saving if they shopped online.
