Counselling on College Scholarship Recruitment
One of the greatest dividends of developing a highly skilled golf game is a scholarship to a U.S. college or university.
In many ways, a scholarship is a return on the investment in time and certainly the money that you and your family have put into elevating your golf game and life skills.
Whether your goals are to play on the world`s top tours or success in business—or both—a college education is one of the most important milestones to achieving your goals.
At Core Golf Junior Academy, our staff work closely with students not only to elevate their games to the college-level, but also in helping them secure the best college scholarship for their needs.
Our scholarship counselling includes:
- Advising students on the process of seeking scholarships
- Providing guidance on strategies for recruitment and protocols
- Advising on schools that provide the right fit for the student
- Assisting with documentation and presentation
Along with the coaching and tournament schedule, the atmosphere of the Core campus and residences at Windermere Preparatory School—where our students live and attend classes—simulates the lifestyle of a college golfer, which prepares our players for their futures as student athletes.
Core Golf has been tremendously successful in helping our students secure scholarships.
For six Core Golf Junior Academy students, that goal became a reality for the 09-10 academic year.
