Non-Student-Athlete College Planning Program
The key to a student's success is finding colleges that are a great fit academically, financially, geographically and socially, and if any of those 4 factors are out of balance, a student will in most instances have a very difficult time with college.
While there is a limited number of student recruiting courses and workshops being offered today, the Youth Branding University Student Program encompasses far more than simply the recruiting process, as there are many more factors that go into the recruiting process than simply generating interest from college and trying to receive a scholarship.
Our program is meant to serve as a complete guide for every factor that contributes to the success of middle school to high school students wishing to play at the college level.
The Youth Branding University Student Program is broken down into 11 unique sessions that cover over 90 individual topics that provide the groundwork for all high school students that wish to continue their careers in college.
Inasmuch, the Youth Branding University Student Colleger Planning Program was designed to provide parents, students, teachers, and counselors with the most detailed information on the college application and recruiting process for aspiring high school students who wish to continue their careers at the college level.
